Revealing at last the instrument I have been working on recently - its a long scale octave mandolin with an arm bevel and deep bout making it very comfortable to play. Top is western red cedar, back and sides a beautiful Indian rosewood, mahogany and flame maple neck with a 23" scale and Schaller M6 locking tuners.
The bracing is unusual, modelled on the Taylor V-style - its has a big big bottom end and can be felt across the room! Traditional nitrocellose finish and K&K twin spot pick up fitted as standard.
Built to order Prices from £3200 according to specification, for deliver spring 2026
