Instruments with non-standard tunings.
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.

Gargle consistently hits new pages within minutes of me publishing them. It used to take weeks, then days. I figured it would take at least a few hours, but I have WordPress automatically submitting everything to Gargle, and they are responding in just minutes. I know because my Gargle watchdog tells me. They must have a hell of a lot of hardware working on this. Or maybe I am really special to them.
