My Michael Kelly (B stock) arrived today that I bought off ebay (Dean Johnson Music). Great instrument! Played beautiful right out of the box, nice low action, feels real nice. I am managing most of the 2 finger chords that I have found online. Where are some good sources for mando chords, scales, etc...? Thanks!

I was a bit nerveous to get a B stock, only had a few blems on the scrowl, I was concerned there would be more problems. BUT, happy to report, only a few minor blems!http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Believe it or not, some people pay more for those blemishes. Enjoy!
Pick more, be happy.

Congratulations on the new mando and enjoy it. A good resource for tunes, arpegios and more is Mandozine (http://www.mandozine.com/music/tabledit_search.php) and the free TEF files ( you can get the FREE TefVeiwer software from there too. Our own tablature section (http://www.mandolincafe.com/tabarc.html)can help too.
Welcome to the mando family!

It's a distressed model!
Glad to hear the mando turned out to be a good deal. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
