I think hobo is very close. I'd make a mask from thin cardboard and hang it an inch or less in front of the mandolin. Spray black through the mask for flame, remove mask and add vignette.

<p>Greg, You hit it, trying to figure out how they painted the burst with the fake flame maple. Customer wants it to be original. Everything else I have pretty much figured out. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>

My first mandolin was a Harmony Monterey. Would have been a 1962. I'm tempted to say it was awful, but it played and it tought me that i could work on and even improve instruments. It had painted-on red/black "figure" and tuners I had to turn with pliers (I was only 13).<br />
What do you want to know about them?
