8 string mandolin
This mandolin was built-to-order for Dave Wheatley of Spiral of Shame . For a custom job like this, I was able to offer Dave a selection of tins and build the mandolin to suit the tin he chose. Special features on this instrument include the nut-and-bolt strap button, full-length adjustable trussrod and a corian tail-block to protect the tin from the high tension of mandolin strings.
