Hi, I'm new to this forum, and as I don't exactly know where to introduce myself, I will post a couple of pictures of my work. I am a French amateur luthier, and I have interest in the mandolin family, so here is some of my work : My F5 : It is a classical Loar style, after R.Siminoff's plan. Attachment: dessus34AV.JPG Attachment: Tete2.JPG Attachment: chaise.JPG It is KTM-SV finished. A 100 years old french made Neapolitan style I have restored : Attachment: P1060842.jpg Attachment: P1060841.jpg I completely rebuilt it and refinished with true oil. Had to wedge shim the fretboard to make it playable again. and my very last build (two weeks ago) : an "Octave baritone electic mandolin". I did the plan, adapting the design of a LP 59 burst (I dreamt to have a Les Paul, bus as I am not at all a guitarist ...) Attachment: 01_M2_face_indoor.jpg Attachment: 05_M2_corneAV.jpg Attachment: 10_M2_jack.jpg It is a 5 strings, 18 inch scale. the pickups and hardware comes from Almuse. KTM SV finished. I have also a website, where you can see the detailed photo blog for this work.: http://www.labellenote.fr/index.php?lng=en I look forward to get your feedback ! cheers, Christophe |

That les paul mando is a beaut! Where did you get the bridge, tailpiece, and pickups for it? |

Hi, I got them entirely custom made according to my specs by Pete Mallinson at Almuse, UK. This is a nice address to record, he can do pretty whatever you desire for odd projects like that. http://www.almuse.co.uk/ |
