This is another A style archtop octave mandolin. The back, sides, and neck are all walnut, the headstock overlay and truss rod cover are curly walnut, the fretboard and bridge are ebony, the blocks are African mahogany,and the braces and soundboard are Sitka spruce. The scale length is 20-1/8″ and the nut width is 1-1/2″. The fretboard dots are brass.
There is a two way truss rod in the neck. The tuners are Gotoh from Smakula Fretted Instruments, the strings are a D’Addario octave mandolin set, the bridge adjustment wheels are from Stew-Mac, and the tailpiece is a generic import. The finish is Tru Oil, like I always use. To see a short and unskilful video demonstration please follow the link below.
