Nice back, would love to play one of these some day.
THE WORLD IS A BETTER PLACE JUST FOR YOUR SMILE!
This photo was taken a couple of days ago after the initial French polish by Mr. Ruhland.
I hope you get to play one sometime pops1. They are quite special. The very first A style Matt built will be 2 years old in Oct of this year I believe. It continues to get better as time rolls along. Here's an example.

I should mention all of the A5's in that photo are spoken for.
I don't think Matt has had to make a mandolin that wasn't spoken for in a while. Hopefully he and other great luthiers can continue to thrive!
Ruhland #41
My unnamed build #1
Various other stringed and percussion tools
I'll just add also that he's a real gent. He answered all my initial questions promptly and politely, as if he had all the time in the world.
