OK, it's not a guitar, but I guarantee it IS grouse! A beautiful Style A mandolin made by Graham McDonald in Canberra, Australia. Graham is a highly-regarded maker of Mandolins, Mandolas and more recently Bouzoukis. This mandolin was made in June, 1995, and has had just one careful owner from new. The instrument has some beautiful timbers (carved solid spruce arched top, solid rosewood sides and gently arched back, and beautiful fiddleback maple neck), and some lovely inlay work of a particularly Australian gumleaf design on the ebony-faced headstock and ebony fretboard. It also comes with a beautiful hand-made case, which can be seen in the 'more pictures' link below. Sold to Bob in the USA
