Re: Another Martucci
Nice score, Fred. That looks like a nice once-and future-mandolin. I like these THICK inlays around the tops. Very Italian. Who are you getting to do the restoration work for you?
Do you know if your GGF used zero frets on some of his mandolins? That might take up a bit more space but not necessarily as much as what appears on this one. What is all that glue and crud in photo 6? Were there some repairs in that area? I love multi-staved maple bowls, and this one is a beauty. Please keep us posted as the repairs/restorations mover forward.
