Ann Wilson of Heart. These are some old live concert videos before the sisters sacked most of the band and went corporate-rock in the '80s. Ironically, sister Nancy sang their only #1 hit. Nancy sings well too, but Ann is in a class by herself. She even does a credible Robert Plant! One of the best female singers of all time, and all but forgotten today. Now we have Taylor Swift. I threw my radio away.
This body is maple plywood over a hollow pine core, double-bound. It came out very lightweight, too light to balance even a guitar neck. This was originally going to be the 12-string, but I realized that it would never balance. So I shuffled parts and bodies between some other projects - a planned six-string got canceled and became the twelver. That left this body free. I thought about it a while and decided it would make a good mandolin.
