David is a luthier/repairman from Pittsville, Illinois. He builds traditional F-style mandolins as well as this little beauty—a solidbody electric (made of birdseye maple) with a Dean Markley guitar pickup. This axe or one like it can be yours for $350 or so, and David says he'll gladly swap this pickup out, if you like, for another of your choosing. For more information, contact David by e-mail, or call 217/285-9624.
