Wow, the easiest part of the build is complete. The cases have arrived!
Here are a few flight cases and a couple soft backpacker-style cases.
Flight and Soft Cases
This spring I will be building several mandolins based on the Lloyd Loar signed model I wrote about in another post, 1923 Gibson F-5 Lloyd Loar #73984.
I will be naming each post “Spring F5″ followed by the post number in the series.
Click ‘Spring F5′ to view the posts from newest to oldest.
I am working on installing an email updater so that those of you interested and especially those of you who have ordered these first mandolins will be notified each time I update the build blog. In fact.. you can enter your email to the right and click ‘Subscribe’ to get on the list.
Thanks for reading.

Local rock guitar hero, Rick Mari, stopped by the shop with Hipbone Sam recently to talk shop and while here gave Cocozilla a hard hitting test drive. I grabbed this video of Rick without any warm-up or approval… sorry Rick, but hey, it’s good stuff so here it is…
Some days it is the little victories that keep the spirits up!
