Default Highland strings / harshbarger

Anyone have experience and or playtime on his instruments? Just picked up an Orenda acoustic from reverb and it arrives Friday. Excited for new gear day! Any idea on what kinda pickup that is?!?!

Default Harshbarger mandolin

If this Jason Harshbarger, you are in for a treat. I purchased one of his f style mandolins used, and it is a beautiful piece of work. His customers even started a web page extolling his work. The mandolin is one of my instruments that i just love to hold and play and look at. He’s done some serious investigation and innovation with guitars, and the one you posted looks like one of those. I think his inspiration is Steve Klein for guitars.

Default Orenda

I was just wondering if you sold that Orenda. If you did, I may have it. I know it had repaired top cracks. I was just curious, I really love it. I was the guy that had the Harshbarger mandolin. Thanks.
