Here’s a few pics of a special order Apitius Club Jazz mandolin I just just received. I knew Oliver Apitius was a one man shop, and wondered if he could do a custom headstock inlay . I provided him with a design for a great blue heron, (my favorite bird), laid out on a scale template that Oliver provided. I also asked for a few other minor tweaks, which he happily provided. I think the result is aesthetically gorgeous. But even better, it has a fantastic voice: strong, responsive, articulate, with a vintage-y vibe. And, sustain for days…! Oliver is a great guy to work with, and this Club Jazz is a joy to play.! Just wanted to share this with the mandosphere.
