Hey, where are the old Martins? I'm disappointed.

[G. Fisher]

I was going to re-submit my answers because I tought I had #8 wrong.

This just shows that I spend to much time checking out mandolins. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif

[mandoryan]

I missed 8. I couldn't figure that one out.

[MANDOLINMYSTER]

Yeah #8 had me a little stumped, I'm not sure which one's I got right or wrong though....were's the answer sheet??? http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Strado Len]

You did not ask viewers to give the model and year of mandolins, only the maker. I have resubmitted my answers along with the correct answer to the mysterious #8.

Well I did ask to specify which period the gibsons were from http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I am just shooting for the coveted 1/9 spot.

[mandopete]

Those scrolls all look strange.

[Ken Sager]

Once I put the right Gibson periods I shot to 8/9! I just resubmitted, too, and hopefully I got #8 right this time...

Ken, you guessed very rightly gibson-wise... http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif

But I'm afraid your #8 is still not right http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

[Ken Sager]

Wow! Not a Hillburn?!?! He ripped off, er, copied, somebody's fern then! I'm stumped.

[Ken Sager]

Very entertaining diversion, by the way. Thanks grandmainger.

http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif I ran a little Scroll Guessing contest some time ago, but it was over a lot quicker, since people seem to know their scrolls a lot better than their headstock!
I reckon the next one will be for pickguards... or maybe tailpieces http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif
