Post subject:  Looking for some help

Hey all,

A good friend is after me to build him an 8 string resonator mandolin sort of like this picture:

I'm a flat top guitar builder and don't know much about either resonator instruments or mandolins. I'm wondering is there are any books on building this sort of instrument or any existing plans out there.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Chris, I'd also inquire through Mando cafe. They'll steer you in the right direction I'm sure.
