    The back of my Arrow G5 5 string. Quilty goodness.
    The photo is adding a lot of red. The sunburst is actually more of a tobacco colour.

    It looks nicer with the Tone-Gard removed, but sounds a lot nicer with it on.
    All my life I wanted to be somebody, now I realize I should have been more specific.

    I sometimes get the impression that in the USA you seem to care more about looks than anything else, no-one else is going to see the back of your mandolin so why bother ? I've got a Gibson F9 that frankly looks like cheap rubbish but it plays and sounds great so I'm happy with that.

    I have a highly figured Mandolin because I love the look but if it didn’t sound good I wouldn’t have it. Tone first and if I can have looks as well I will. So in the end it is purely for my own benefit. Where I live I don’t see other Mandolins nor do I get to play with other musicians, any sort the tone and looks are strictly for my enjoyment. Why single out Americans I can’t imagine the enjoyment or desire for figures Woods is limited to that region. I would think it has more to do with the number of builders in this country and how the choose woods for their shops. Just more available maybe?

    No, but they'll see your amp.

    George A makes some of the baddest amps on the planet but they're also pieces of fine art. I love the looks of my mandolins besides being superb music makers.

    1960s Portuguese shape domeback mandolin, most likely from an East German maker. Missing labels. The light wood is definitely flamed maple. The darker one might be plum or pear. A luthier said it's not cherry.

    Yes, I asked for a mild distress on what he called the "old violin" finish I saw on another instrument he had posted here in 2016 or 17. It also has an satin oil varnish over top of it.
