Gibson F-5 Lloyd Loar Copy  Sold!
This mandolin was built in the late 70's or early 80's by well known Va.
luthier Vern Bryant. Vern borrowed a 1924 Loar during the complete
building of this mandolin, the result is a extremely close copy of the
Loar.  It has The Gibson inlay, as well as the tailpiece cover, this one
even has Gibson labels with a Loar signature.  Very Loar like woods
were chosen, orginally built in Lacquer, which was common in the day it
was built.  A couple of years ago it was taken to Master Luthier Gail
Hester, she completely refinished it in varnish as well as a complete
setup.  It is a very Loar like tone much like the Paganonis I have owned.
 Plays great, strong mandolin, comes in a handmade by John Paganoni
Loar case!

2009 Ellis A-5 Deluxe  Sold!
New, just in from Tom Ellis of Austin TX. I was not at all surprised by
the amazing fit, finish and overall workmanship that came with this
mandolin.  I have played several Ellis and they are in my opinion
second to none.  I was however stunned by the sound that is already
there, straight out of the box, it already sounds old, not tight at all,
radiused board, Red Spruce top, one piece back, top notch mandolin
from Tom Ellis !!  I really think the A's from Tom are a great ideal ,and
offers more  affordability in a tough economy right now!!
