Nice! How about re-finish with hot rod flames and skulls for fret markers. 
C'mon now, who deserves a $250,000 mandolin? I nominate this guy:

Jay: holy @#$%! that was amazing mando playing!
Tim, yeah he already has one but a guy needs a spare. I just love saying Dudenbostel. It's inherently funny as a word. |

| The acoustic "tube-sniffers" (I'm mangling categories here) at at least as crazy about minute details as the electric guys. They know what Lloyd Loar had for breakfast on the day he carved their braces.... The odd thing about bluegrass musicians is that for all their supposed sensitivity (& superiority) compared to us electric neanderthals, the goal of every single instrument in a bluegrass band is to be louder than all the other ones. They call it "projection" but we know what they really mean. |

For those that think $250,000 is too much, Elderly does have another for only $225,000. Sounds like a deal to me.

"This guy" is Evan Marshall and it will be my privilege to play with him about 3 hours from now in Burbank, backing up the great Troy Walker. Y'all come now! |

That's right Mr. Bovine.
I caught him at Disneyland once, what a player!
uTube has a few more videos of him, all worth watching.
