    Appalachian Luthier Henry Brown A Mandolin Project w Handmade Naugahyde Case.
    Another one from the pile of projects I cant keep up with…
    Not sure of top composition but guessing maple all around. Flat top and back. Headstock capped and fully bound. Neck joint looks solid but there is a finish crack at the heel so no guarantees — bracing along cracks in top and back seem solid which leads me to believe this could be humidified and glued and be a solid instrument. Might need to shave the bridge to get better action but there is plenty of room to do so. ~14” scale. Please see photos for other clues — neck looks decent but I havent tuned it to pitch. Id probably level crown and polish. Guessing built early 80s. Sold as is. Nice little instrument. I bought it looking for projects but have too many in the shop and have more and more limited space these days. Handmade gorgeous naugahyde case. Similar cases go for a few hundred easy. Has the classic tackiness from age which typically is remedied with a little dish soap.
