E.F.Elliott "Electric Mandolin Build"

Postby EFElliott » Wed May 04, 2011 6:28 am

Hey Guys and Gals,
I thought I share some photos of another project I'm working on
right now, this is one of my standard Electric Mandolins, I've built
about 35 of these so far. I'm not much of a mandolin picker but I
do have a lot of fun building these little guys.

One thing that never ceases to amaze me about your pieces is the beautiful wood you find upon which to work your art! The figuring on that mandolin is absolutely beautiful! In Canada, I'm lucky to find soft maple...guess we export it all. :roll:

Hi there,

Well I managed snap 3 photos (not very good ones) of the finished
mandolin before my camera died. Shes on her way to a new home
far away.
Thanks for taking a look!

Beautiful! Could you tell me a little about the pickup (is it a regular size humbucker?), bridge (where do you get bridges like this?), and scale length? Thanks, Gari
