“It’s here and it’s spectacular. The neck shape/size is perfect–extremely comfortable and fast and easy to get around on. Thanks for working with me on that. It may be the best neck on any mandolin I have. Tone is wonderful and rich, and the volume is outstanding–what a little monster! Beautiful color and woods. Love the stealth trussrod cover. Just a wonderful instrument in every way. Great setup too. Varnish smell is still strong–need to let it sit out a couple days.” Don Grieser, owner Sept.10 2020
