This new Randy Wood mandolin design will be modeled after the Randy Wood two-point design that I played on for a few years whilst with Hubert Davis. The original has a long scale and one piece back and top, snakehead design with rosewood overlay. The new ones will be a faithful reproduction of the old #1, and will include a pickguard and possibly an Allen tailpiece with Randy Wood's signature. The only significant difference will be that it will have a KK pickup system installed which will make the instrument acoustic/ electric. The pickups are glued to the underside of the top and are two brass discs/ diaphragms with wires attached. The only sign of the pickup is the endpin jack. I tried out two prototypes in Randy's shop last weekend and the pickups are quite sensitive and sound surprisingly like...you got it...a mandolin. This system allows for playing the mandolin and using the natural dynamics of the box. The two prototypes have compound radiused fingerboards, I believe beginning at a 12 radius and ending with 18 which seems a lot more flat at the bridge, but still I'm not used to that feel, so I've asked for a flat board. I believe Randy has used a very thin lacquer for the finish. The two prototypes are for sale at $5K, one a pumpkin top and the other sunburst. The sunburst neck is larger than the pumpkin. Randy says that each is offered with a money-back, no-questions- asked guarantee. I will be putting pics up of the two before long. For all you folks who are in need of one of these, keep your eyes peeled. I am looking forward to getting ahold of one of the finished models and trying it out. It will sure make my life easier in the coming months, what with the EC sessions and tour. I think Randy said that we will be looking at a $6K pricetag, so that is well within the realm of possibility for folks wanting a top-notch acoustic/electric.

Re: New R.Wood mandos
Let's see now, was the topic R.Wood prototypes, pot smoking, middle- aged fantasies about women, or the munchies? I'd say both digressed and regressed. Back to mandos... Please, if you all would pass along the link and particulars to the R.Woods and the Duff 'Dola, I'd really appreciate it. Back to the show...

The two prototypes have compound radiused fingerboards, I believe beginning at a 12 radius and ending with 18 which seems a lot more flat at the bridge, but still I'm not used to that feel, so I've asked for a flat board. I believe Randy has used a very thin lacquer for the finish. The two prototypes are for sale at $5K, one a pumpkin top and the other sunburst. The sunburst neck is larger than the pumpkin.

For all you folks who are in need of one of these, keep your eyes peeled. I am looking forward to getting ahold of one of the finished models and trying it out. It will sure make my life easier in the coming months, what with the EC sessions and tour.

Re: New R.Wood mandos
John, They sound tight and new, of course.G The body size is slightly smaller than the official version will be. There is ample midrange even at this point and lots of treble response. Plenty of volume and carrying power. Both seem to be lively and would open up pretty fast. I noticed that plugged in, the pumpkin mando had less of a crisp sound than the sunburst, which suited me more, but that's just my own taste. The neck on the pumpkin top is more comfortable to me because I am used to the v shape. The other is more of a rounded profile and completely playable. These are not F5's but their own thing, so I think it would be wise to approach them as such. I'm really looking forward to getting the new one and seeing what's what.

The original has a long scale and one piece back and top, snakehead design with rosewood overlay. The new ones will be a faithful reproduction of the old #1, and will include a pickguard and possibly an Allen tailpiece with Randy Wood's signature. The only significant difference will be that it will have a KK pickup system installed which will make the instrument acoustic/electric. The pickups are glued to the underside of the top and are two brass discs/ diaphragms with wires attached. The only sign of the pickup is the endpin jack. I tried out two prototypes in Randy's shop last weekend and the pickups are quite sensitive and sound surprisingly like...you got it...a mandolin. This system allows for playing the mandolin and using the natural dynamics of the box. The two prototypes have compound radiused fingerboards, I believe beginning at a 12 radius and ending with 18 which seems a lot more flat at the bridge, but still I'm not used to that feel, so I've asked for a flat board. I believe Randy has used a very thin lacquer for the finish. The two prototypes are for sale at $5K, one a pumpkin top and the other sunburst. The sunburst neck is larger than the pumpkin. Randy says that each is offered with a money-back, no-questions-asked guarantee. I will be putting pics up of the two before long. For all you folks who are in need of one of these, keep your eyes peeled. I am looking forward to getting ahold of one of the finished models and trying it out. It will sure make my life easier in the coming months, what with the EC sessions and tour. I think Randy said that we will be looking at a $6K pricetag, so that is well within the realm of possibility for folks wanting a top-notch acoustic/electric.

He said he had a bunch of Japanese maple leaf inlays in abalone and stuck one on. It was a suggestion. It won't be there on the others. Randy told me I was going to catch hell for it, and sure enough...you boys are giving yourselves away.

Oh and I forgot to say, CONGRATULATIONS on getting your own mandolin line. Its about time! They look great, is that what I think it is on the headstock of the sunburst mandolin ; )...

There is ample midrange even at this point and lots of treble response. Plenty of volume and carrying power. Both seem to be lively and would open up pretty fast. I noticed that plugged in, the pumpkin mando had less of a crisp sound than the sunburst, which suited me more, but that's just my own taste. The neck on the pumpkin top is more comfortable to me because I am used to the v shape. The other is more of a rounded profile and completely playable. These are not F5's but their own thing, so I think it would be wise to approach them as such. I'm really looking forward to getting the new one and seeing what's what.
