Mandocello

Post by KLW » Sat Jan 25, 2014 3:38 am

Done... Sounds good but I'm a bit biased.. I play (poorly) a tenor guitar and find this one a bit more of a challenge to play..

Sitka top, Oregon Myrtle Back & sides, Espave Neck, IRW fingerboard & trim... A light French Polish finish with zpoxy pore fill...

Multi-scale, 24.75" -26.25"

It was a fun challenge as it was my first multi-scale and first arm bevel, I did a simple binding scheme to make the arm bevel easier..

Very Nice, good timber choice, clean lines - a case of less is more

Well Done.- Love to hear it.

Cheers

" A bit of a challenge to play" , bet it was a challenge to build as well. There's a heap of good stuff you have going on there and i bet you won't be seeing many people copycat instruments, nicely done.

I think that was good for you in the sense that it is more challenging. :)

A mandocello of strong visual character as a whole and also in its details like for example wood grain of top and neck, but also in every geometrical aspect I can see. Just got to love to look at it! :cl
