2010s Unmarked Frying Pan Acoustic/Electric 4-String Mandolin
My friend Rob (maybe correctly?) was wondering why I was putting so much effort into getting this ridiculous instrument ready for its owner. Two answers belong to that question, though -- one is that it's a ding-dang frying pan mandolin and deserves his respect and two is that its owner plays in a ding-dang jug band.
So, suffice to say, this thing is awesome but I had to pull a mild fret-miracle off to have it happen. That neck is nowhere near straight but now it plays as if it is. It's also the first instrument I've ever seen that uses a spoon bridge. I love it, but now I want to make a fork bridge. Did I mention that I compensated the spoon bridge? No I didn't but these things matter.
Last bit... just wait until you see the back!
