I agree with Jim, but I still like the tone of the oval-hole Gibsons, even more when played by Rich DelGrosso. Dano, your price range was around $600, so you found a '29 Gibson for $500, which of...

Dano, here is a video link of Jim Richter giving a blues mandolin lesson on YouTube. He is playing a Gibson A-Jr. Might be helpful for playing blues....

I believe $500 to be a good price. Shipping included with the price. A 1924 Snakehead A-Jr. is now on the auction site, current bid at $900. Dano, if you decide to keep the A-Jr. after you get it,...

I am not sure. Might be able to play the Gibson as it is. No offense to anyone, but I will take an old repaired Gibson mandolin over the most perfect Eastman anyday.

The seller does offer an...

Link to '29 Gibson A-Jr. auction. Only three hours left in auction. NFI, just throwing the mandolin out there for your consideration....

Hi Dano, glad to see you are still playing the mandolin. An old oval-hole Gibson would probably be a good blues mandolin. I am enjoying the tone of my '24 Gibson Snakehead A-Jr. Sounds good for...

PJ, I had to look at the photo twice! #At first, I thought it was a photo of Mike Compton http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Yes, it's hard to beat those Carlson signed Flatirons and Gibsons. I received a 1988 Gibson A-5G signed by Steve Carlson last Wednesday. It sounds great! I had played Carlson signed Flatirons in the...

I took delivery of a 1924 Gibson A-Jr. snakehead last Thursday. #Great mandolin! #Very nice tone. #Mine has both the serial number and factory order number as well dating it to 1924. #I paid $850 for...

Yes, I noticed them. His mandolins look very nice! Congrats on your mandolin!

Oops, I guess Gruhn sold one of the new Loar models. They only have one left! Look rather nice for the money!

Gruhn in Nashville have two of the new Loar models. I am sure they allow an approval period.

Thank you guys for the link and information! I will contact Mr. Weber about doing the truss rod cover for me. Scotti, what mandolin you playing these days?

I love my 2006 Gibson F-9 mandolin. I sold a Collings MT to purchase the F-9, as I find I like the Gibson bluegrass tone better than the Collings tone. The original owner buffed the matte finish to a...

Exactly what I was thinking too! It does look like scrimshaw.

Great looking mandolin! I would like to get a truss rod cover like the one David has for my 2006 Gibson F-9. Anybody know where I can get one like David's? Thanks.

I wouldn't have recognized Big Joe, if mando1man hadn't listed him as being in the photo. Big Joe has lost a lot of weight since I last saw him in Nashville.

Contact Dennis Vance at The Mandolin Store. There is a photo of the case on his website. I believe the price is $215.00. Check it out!

Dennis Vance of The Mandolin Store has the Collings Oval available now on his website for $3,420. Looks nice, but would look better with a smaller oval hole. Just my opinion.

Looks like Dennis Vance of The Mandolin Store will have a Collings MT2-Oval available June 24. Priced at $3,500.

Here's an interesting Ajr. Snake w/ no interior label or logo on the headstock. It's currently on your favoriteAuction Site[/QUOTE]
The missing label is a mystery, but of course the A-Jr. Snakeheads...

Looks like your Gibson is a 1916 Gibson A, not an A-1.

I have always used D'Addario J-74's, but I have had GHS strings on my two mandolins for about a week. I have GHS Silk n' Bronze on my F-9, and A270's on my A-5G. I am pleasantly surprised at the...

Nice job!

That KM-1500 belonged to a Cafe member. I think he sold it on Ebay about a month ago.
