I think that one's from the industrial division.

[zeke]

That's one monochromatic mando there...........

[keymandoguy]

that looks butt ugly for a Gibson ?

[JiminRussia]

I didn't know that Ovation made Gibson copies.....

[Brookside]

Looks like a chalkboard. I have an urge to write, "I will not make ugly mandolins" on it 100 times.

[elenbrandt]

Jeez...Someone needs a new camera...

What would we do without Dale -- our ever-vigilant
"taste police" officer...

(he's playing happy birthday)

[neal]

Happy B-day Ellen, may you have 51 more.

[seanh]

The pertinate point was that it was a "Master Model" and for the bargain price of just 1900.00. Nice to know that Gibson has come down on the price. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Bluegrass Boy]

If you want to play the blues on mando, this is your chance.

[PCypert]

Hey,
Is this the 2500 dollar varnish job Charlie and the boys are doing on the MM up in Nashville?

[MrSrubas]

I just heard about a brand new f9 in chicago for 1800 dollars.
I guess I would be pretty mad about giving an extra 100 dollars to somebody that owns a can of Krylon.

[Russ(String-Alley)]

ok, so the Folks at Gibson Came out with a "goth" F9 to match the electric SG's flying V's and Les Pauls they marketed? #its for the deathmetal mando crowd I guess but then.....ACK! where's the pickup?

PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELEN!!!!

[delsbrother]

Sorry, the Deathmetal crowd are strictly bowlback players. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[Blind_Cowboy]

Let's just hope (for the sake of Gibson's finishing department) that the guy has taken the worlds worst photographs. I couldn't imagine:

A. Somebody letting a job like that go out the door.

B. Somebody actually buying it.

[daikon]

Better than "sea-foam green" if you ask me, which, I realize, you didn't. # http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif

Not much better........ http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[GaryM]

Thats the nicest primer I've ever seen. Flames would be good..or even better "Happy 51 Elen" right on the back!! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Actually all Gibsons have a label inside that reads "Gibson Master Model". From the A-9 to distressed.
Usually not this color though...

PS Happy Birthday Elen

[GBG]

This is an example of Gibson's new creosote finish. It's an "outside" mandolin. When you get through playing at a festival, just leave laying on the ground and pick it up again next year.

[Coy Wylie]

Nah, that's the Orange County Choppers edition... custom powder coat.

[Zed]

Call me weird but i kinda like it!

I say we all take up a fund to pay for Zeek's therapy -- what do you all think?
