2 Laplant mandolins with new EVO frets
I took these two Laplant mandolins to Steve Hinde to have him radius the fingerboards and refret them with EVO frets. He also modified the orginal bridge bases to make them full contact. After Steve worked his magic I think they have an increase in projection and sustain and play very easily. He also repaired a finish issue I caused with one of those humidifier hose things. I couldn't be happier. Here are some sound clips to give an idea of the tone. Recored with my Tascam DR-07 MKII from about 2 feet away. Number 6 is on the bottom and number 106 is on the top of the picture.
