re: Hand Made Mandola

Looks great! From looking at your build log, the X bracing on the top looks sufficient. How tall is your current bridge? Standard is 3/4" but 5/8" to 1" can be pretty common as it's much easier to replace the bridge as you would know on that type of construction than to reset the neck. At least it's a floating bridge so pretty easy to replace with a taller one. Looking forward to seeing more instruments.
