It has a red spruce top and one piece back that was picked specifically for it's Loar characteristics. Hand applied stain and a French polished varnish finish.  Chris does not use spray on finishes and has one of the best varnish finishes in the business.  This particular mandolin was displayed at a recent SPBGMA convention and got great reviews.  I'm only selling it because Chris built another one for me with custom features and I can't keep both.  Shipping/insurance is $75 within the US.Thanks for looking.  Free shipping within US if payment is made with cashier's check.
