I've been putting this off for too long I guess because, well, it's hard. I finally got the strings on it today and hopefully within the next several days will come the rest. Kent Armstrong made a custom floating pickup for this (a 10-string mandocello!) and @museguitarparts aka Mathilde Tetreault made the tailpiece. Beautiful finish courtesy of @eadyguitars.
