James Docy
The late Mr. Docy, of St. Petersburg, Florida, may well have been the
most prolific small-shop mandolin builder. At 86 years of age, he had
produced over 3,000 mandolins. They're not fancy but they get the job
done. This particular instrument has a spruce top and zebrawood back and
sides—and yes, Virginia, it does have an onboard pickup.
