Randy Wood Instruments
An icon in the musical instrument field, Randy Wood built his first instrument,
an Autoharp, in the early 1960's. After moving to Milledgeville, GA. in the
mid sixties to work with Tut Taylor, he built his first Mandolin. The late,
"Legendary" Bob Givens also came to work with Tut, and built his
first mandolin. "We were both flying blind", Randy says of those
early days.
That first RW mandolin is still being played today by
the capable Red Henry. Randy's second mandolin is still serving under "The
Master", Roland White, and his third may be the only mandolin commissioned
by BIll Monroe, the father of Bluegrass.

The mandocello, a close relative of the mandolin, but has a longer scale than the traditional mandolin. Like all of Randy's instruments, special attention is paid to the details. This produces one of the finest mandocelloes on the market today.

Manufactured Parts
Patterned after the Frequensator tail piece of the Golden Age of Epiphone, these tail pieces were custom designed by Randy specifically to improve the tone and volume of almost any instrument while improving balance.
Available in Gold or Silver finish, Randy's tail pieces are made from solid sheet stock to avoid the rigidity inherently found in tail pieces made from castings.
Randy's hand made bridges are interchangeable with Loar era bridges and are available in two styles.
Crafted from Ebony, Brazilian Rosewood or Satinwood, all are compensated to correct any intonation problems. Adjustment wheels are available in antique gold or silver.
The standard model fits Gibson, Randy Wood and other custom mandolins that are patterned after the pre-war era.
The high profile bridge fits the modern Gibson, Flatiron and any other modern day mandolin that has a high arched top.
