Standard Mandolin XV Update
Here’s a few photos for you, now that the mandolin’s body is fully bound. By using maple for the bindings, I’ve ensured that no tropical hardwoods will be
used on this particular instrument. Looks good too!
As someone fortunate enough who recently bought one of Gary’s standard mandolins. Let me say that there is nothing ordinary about it. It is beautifully made, looks fabulous and sounds great. Very vibrant tone and loud when you need it. He is also a pleasure to deal with.
