He harvests his own tonewoods from Coastal Oregon and fashions most of his own parts including the pickguard, bridge/saddle, and custom tailpiece. Mr. Sheehy also considers it important for his mandolins to be affordable and so he always strives to maximize “tone per dollar”. You’d be hard-pressed to find a higher quality new handmade mandolin in this price range.
