We're huge fans of the armrests and finger guards of Hill Country Stringworks wood artist Doug Edwards, having commissioned our fifth McClung recently. Doug has expanded into instrument crafting as well, and two of his beautiful 2-point mandolins showed up on the Mandolin Cafe Classifieds. Not only are these stunning in looks, they are an incredible bargain for someone fetching a quality instrument at an exceptionally good price.

We doubt these will be around much longer. Better snag one fast!
