    Re: Old Gibson needs fixin'

    Mike is right, I've never had trouble selling anything with the name Gibson on it. I'm curious as to the Gibson script on this one, I thought it would have the block style font.

    It looks like a nice carve and scroll work. The wood looks good as well as the headstock vine. It is unusual to see a volute at the base of the headstock but not unheard of, the late Glen Dean Cecil...

    Re: 1920's washburn

    It's nice to have a hardshell case with your mandolin, it's kept it in nice shape. Check your bridge position, it normally doesn't sit on the pickguard.

    He scared me into wanting to get better. I got to open for Bill and the best part was him joining us on stage. Now that was a little scary.

    I started to study and learn mandolin at age 39, I wished I had started earlier but I was busy playing guitar and bass. Mandolin did take a front seat and I'm still at it 31 years later.
