In among the 6 strings (and ohhhhhh mannnnnnnnnnn, those guitars!) is this lil beauty:

Just like the one Jethro used to play with "Homer & Jethro".

Greetings Mandobob, Flatpick here. I haven't been around for a while and thought I'd hang out with you guys again. I've been looking for a Mandolin to call my own. Just been picking the ole six string and thumping the Bass at church. It's all good.
Talk to you again..... Flatpick http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/coffee.gif

It sold for $11,950, I wonder if I can get that much for my '64 mandocaster?
