Max and Lauri Girouard build fantastic instruments. This will be a keeper for some lucky buyer.

Can't believe you are selling this. I recall the thread when you got it not too long ago because it re-kindled my own interest in mandolins.

got it May 2017 from Max, and I love it, but I have a plan that needs some $ flow. I'm not aggressively pushing it, let it linger without bumping up and such, attempting to work around not selling it.
