F-style scroll

staying with the theme of mandolins for just a bit.

The F-style mandolin is an American invention.

"The F5 model was made famous by the founder of bluegrass, Bill Monroe. Monroe used a Gibson F5 ... In 2007, mandolinist Chris Thile acquired a 1924 Loar-signed F5 that was an exceedingly rare find, as it was in virtually new condition. It reportedly cost him around $200,000. Other well-known musicians who own Loar-signed F5's include Mike Marshall, David McLaughlin, Tony Williamson, David Grisman, John Reischman, Tom Rozum and Frank Wakefield." - Wikipedia
