Re: Randy Wood 2-point
Howdy. I just uploaded pix of the new R.Wood two point to my Flickr account. Here's the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/45096...@n04/ Take a look.

I sat No. 1 and the repro side by side and I will have to say, they are strikingly similar. The new one has gold hardware (Randy's choice) which includes Elite tuners w/black buttons and traditional tailpiece with R. Wood engraved in the cover. I'm thinking maybe about looking into a cast tailpiece. There is a gold ring on the top side for strap near the neck joint. Currently, the bridge and fingerboard are ebony, but Randy says he thinks we ought to go to rosewood on both to match the rosewood overlay on the headstock. I agree. The board has a very slight radius(bleh) with larger than standard frets, which make it play very fast. Neck is more to my liking even than on No.1 with it's shallow V shape. The pick guard is plain 1/2 size tortoise which will eventually have an autograph inlay in it, but not on this one. Back/ sides are maple, the back a striking one-piece flame. Workmanship is impeccable and is finished in varnish. I plugged in the two-point and the pickup sounds solid and full. I'll say that it beats the Gil with the Baggs Radius hands down. It will be nice to have only the end pin jack and nothing to knock off. All in all, this mandolin is hands down more to my liking, plays well, sounds good(both plugged in and acoustically), looks good, feels good. I think Randy's got a winner this time.

I'm looking forward to hearing it next to No. 1 and seeing how it sounds with electricity running through it too (I wonder where my boost box went to?). Should be a fun way to spend a Thursday.

Re: EC Sugarcanes in Europe
Yessir. I'm taking it to play, period, not to try out. I've already played it enough to know it'll do the job well. The R.Wood sounds better electrified than does the Gil with pickup stuck on it. It's simpler to use(nothing to fall off or knock off), plays fast, stays in tune, plays in tune. As I mentioned in another post, there's pics of this one on my Flickr account if anyone wants to see it. Better yet, call Randy and buy the other one so he'll make me one with a flat fingerboard. G I need a better case to put it in, though. I wonder if there's an anvil case out there with my name on it? Tbug On Mar 31, 5:35 pm, Mike mikebunt...@shaw.ca wrote: Are you taking the R.
