Mandolins

I make two different styles of mandolins, both made popular by Gibson in the early 20th Century: the “F”-style and the “A”-style. Both types have carved tops and backs just like on my archtop guitars. No two pieces of wood are exactly alike in physical properties, so the thicknesses and graduations of the top and back are meticulously adjusted to bring out the best possible tone and responsiveness in each mandolin I build.
