The Mandolin Store, Thanks for sharing some details. I was not aware that Gibson stopped taking orders for new mandolins one year ago. I just hope the future plan is good, especially while they...
I was watching a YouTube video from The Acoustic Shoppe and they said Gibson will only be producing two mandolin models going forward. They didn’t know what models they will offer.
Does anyone...
Nice find and thanks for sharing the link. This is a great option for long term use of humidifying a room for musical instruments. I like the idea of supplying my own water for a humidifier.
I appreciate all of the feedback with my humidifier water challenge. Hopefully this tread helps others as well.
The humidifier I’ve been using is an ultrasonic.
From the comments:
I’ll look...
Does anyone use distilled water in room humidifiers?
I keep all of my musical instruments in one room and I use a small 1 gallon humidifier. For the past few years I was using filtered tap...
Thanks catmandu2 for posting the link to this live performance of "Cold Rain and Snow". This is a really good performance. I never listened to this one yet until today. Nice find! Thanks!
I'm not familiar with the so called "replica" Gibson mandolins. In my personal opinion, there is no "replica", they are fake and fraud. These instruments are pollution to the used market when...
Thanks for posting this. I never heard of Brian Dean and his instruments. After checking out the links on the ebay page and doing a search, his instruments looks awesome. It’s cool to see someone...
Crazy story and I'm happy the owner got his mandolin back. It's also great to hear that the honest person who found it called and returned it to the owner.
If you have a valuable mandolin get a...
Great choice. You will be very happy with the Hoffee case.
I got my Hoffee case a few years ago and it’s incredible.
For humidifier location, look at my photo. This is a great spot for the...
It's great to know my mandolin pics are worthy to be saved in fine instrument galleries. Very cool.
I checked the link that pheffernan posted about the consignment 2015 Goldrush for sale at...
The Goldrush in that photo is mine. It’s a custom Goldrush, but I didn’t know it was a custom model when I bought it. I found out after I got it and looked at the label and saw, "Custom Goldrush"....
It sounds fantastic. Nice playing too.
I wonder if Gibson is going to mail everyone a roll of duct tape to cover up the fern inlay on the non-Gibson mandolins.
Inlay won't go away and it will be cool seeing something new and different...
You mentioned it's been a family heirloom since the 1930's. You should consider keeping it and passing it on in your family. Family heirlooms have more sentimental value than the few hundred bucks...
That bridge looks like Madagascar ebony to me. I have the same bridge on my Goldrush.
One thing to point out when using an in case humidifier. If you use the case humidifier and leave for...
The setup on Eastman mandolins is very good right out of the box. I regularly hang out at a local acoustic shop near me. A few times while I was there the shop owner was unboxing guitars and...
educatedguess417, I was like you a few years ago. I wanted a new mandolin and I wanted a Gibson. They get expensive and I was considering cheaper instruments, but I'm glad I eventually got my...
When I jam during the week I have to bring my mandolin to work. I don’t have time to go home to get it before evening jams.
In the wintertime the humidity levels drop to as low as 12% inside my...
I was just in Costa Rica in November. I was hoping on bringing back a musical instrument. I did not find a single musical instrument for sale the entire time I was there. I did see some cheap...

My Goldrush headstock.
Bummer new about your experience, but.... I can assure you that your mandolin did NOT leave the Gibson factory in the condition you bought it. Considering there was parts on backwards is a clear...
I've had my Gibson F5 for two years and I have a decent amount of fret wear already.
I wish all mandolin builders used EVO Gold fretwire as a standard. It puzzles me that EVO frets are not used...
opened thread and left disappointed...
This is a fascinating thread. Thanks!
I'm posting so I can find it again later.
