    Oops! I guess I should have looked closer!

    Looks nice! I built a CB Mandolin for my Daughter last year. This is how I designed the Headstock. It works out nice if you taper the headstock in at the end.306196576?profile=original

    Nah, eight strings are my favorite!

    Pesky 8 strings!

    There's just one string per tuner, but the math was a bit off on this one so the outermost strings are... particularly close couples.
    This was the first time using the croc headstock on a mandolin.

    Wow! How do you get both strings on each tuner to be in tune?
