Make a fine F-style mandolin and save hours of work!
We create this kit right here in our own shop under the guidance of Don MacRostie, creator of the reknowned "Red Diamond" mandolins. We use all top-quality woods and workmanship to make every kit a potential heirloom. There's no plywood in this kit: curly maple is used for the sides and back, with an arched European spruce top.
