This Mandola was actually my 3rd build that I started , however some of you have read my UFFFDUHHH post so you are aware why this is the 2nd unit actually done.

It is Oak Back and sides with a spruce top .
Walnut Neck with a Cocobolo Fret support running the length of the fret board and a Cocobolo Head plate.
Waverly gold Tuners with Black oxide screws .

Adjustable bridge and bone nut .

My lack of experence in building is ONLY surpassed by my Inability to take a decent photo gaah laughing6-hehe

Hopefully it is good enough to display with all the better builds seen here .
