Thanks Joe,..... That answers my question. I sort of thought that was the case.
Hmm...I didn't know that.....but,
One time my barber did cut my hair too short. I think he mentioned a similar...
I don't have a horse in the race (and don't want one). I'm going to chime in only because I'm curious about something. I have played the LM-520 mandolin more than once here at a shop locally. It was...
Shawn,
I'm glad y'all made it through that car crash. It looks like it was a blessing in disguise.
Like others have mentioned maybe you can get in some good practice and also take in some good...
I've been playing in G for 30 years.
Is there another key somewhere on this gizmo? :))

And with a $1100- Buy It Now- price. That's $500 knocked off of the previous one.
Scott, I think MAS is still calling.:grin:
Wow. One day left on this Gibson and not one bid.:popcorn:
Maybe it's because of the bid minimum of $1,000. I would think it's worth that though.

I will be getting a vintage tenor banjo in about a week and I'm really looking forward to it.:)
The ribbing and jokes about banjos have been going on for a very long time and like others have...
The description of the old version of the LM-500 was;
Now the newer version is described as having a hand-carved solid spruce top and hand-carved figured maple back and sides.
I see...
This diagram below explains it in detail. :disbelief:
(*The I in the diagram can be your C major chord)
It shows how complicated music theory can be. Myself, I just stick to the basics when it...
The main thing is to just have fun playing and learning. If you just pick up the mandolin and noodle around with it every day you will learn a lot. You can find little riffs and turn a rounds just by...
I always get confused when I'm in those C flat and E sharp keys. :disbelief: :grin:
It does remind one of the quintessential car salesman pitch about the cream puff that was previously owned by the little old lady.
;)
Although, as already mentioned, it actually looks to be a...
FWIW-I own a Kentucky 380S and I've been very happy with it. The sound is very good and the flame maple is really nice on the back and neck.
I played The Loar 520 LM recently and was very...
That is something.
No one has placed a bid on this one yet, but then there are 9 days left.
I just wonder how much the original hang tag will add to the final bid price?

I think it's really all about modes and intervals as to what emotions are implied in a song.

Ben,
No problem at all. :)
After I looked at our time stamps on the posts I realized that is probably what had happened.
Sorry, I merely over-reacted a bit.
By the way, Wouldn't that crack in...
Chip,
Having my own mandolin with me when I try out another one is a very good idea. That's a very logical thing to do but somehow it never crossed my mind. Thanks.
I have entered the Lafferty...
Ben,
With all due respect, I thought I made it obvious that I made a mistake by not looking at the photo of the headstock. (when I originally saw the mandolin on Ebay.) If I had viewed it I would...
Oopps...my bad, I didn't look at the headstock photo. That's a shame. :(
Maybe whoever buys it will give it a nice repair job. (if that's possible)
Outside of the play wear to the top this Gibson looks decent. I wonder what model and year it is?
Not sure, but it looks like it might have binding. Not a bad $$ so far.
Gibson A model on Ebay
Your Goldengate went out in BLAZE of Glory!! :cool:
I don't want to send the wrong message, I still love the sounds I get from my Rover RM75, my Kentucky, and even my bowlback mandolin and I am very satisfied with them. They are more than adequate for...
Thank you all for for adding your perspectives.
Ed,
Even with my limited guitar experience, I do agree with you about the differences in perceived quality being less with guitars than with...
