Custom Work on Mandolins
 

Mandolins are an extension of your personality and make-up, and it is satisfying for your instrument to reflect and be to your likings.

 

The following work can be incorporated into a mandolin build order provided that all details and the price are agreed when an order is placed.

 

Custom Inlays and Tailpiece Engraving

 

Peghead and / or fretboard inlays in either mother of pearl, abalone or shell can be provided based on a customer’s design provided the final design can be achieved in the material requested.  

 

The James hinged cast aluminium tailpieces that are used on my mandolins offer a great opportunity for personalized engraving

• Left-handed instruments

• Pickguards / fingerrests – nitrocellulose tortis , bound or un-bound

• Extra width of neck

• Customized  neck profiles
