An SG Mandolin!

Here's my most recent build. Solidbody neck-through mandolin. The neck is walnut, mahogany, and birdseye maple. Mahogany wings. Spalted maple top (boy, that stuff is fun to work with :roll: )
Nobody made the pickup I wanted, so that's how I got into pickup winding. Made my own winder and fabricated a split-coil humbucker with one coil for the G/D strings and one for the A/E strings.

This was actually one of a pair of twins. The other one sees regular duty in the hands of Patrick McAlister, multi-instrumentalist for the band I'm in (RJV and Hell County Revival *shameless self-promotion*).
