Cigar Box Mandolin


Recommended Posts

Here's something I just finished for a friend.

It's a cigar box mandolin with most of the bracing you would find in an acoustic guitar.

There's an X-brace, head/tail blocks and other braces under the bridge and on the back.

Neck woods - anigre, walnut, cocobolo veneer, cocobolo fretboard

Brass with black epoxy dot inlays.

Neat piece of work...........was gonna say 'smokin', but thought that was just too corny even for me! :D

Interesting with the mandolins, my partner in crime (the brains of the outfit) is heavily into making mandolins, some, of the very quirky variety. Don't know if it's the done thing, but I'll stick a link up to Dicks site, you might be interested in taking a look.
