If you get a chance, play both! I ordered my MT on 48-hour approval from Elderly three years ago and really enjoy it.

http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif I'll gladly join the chorus of gawkers. #Looks sweet!

Glad to see they pulled to plug!

............it probably is. #Just a head's up on a 1964 Gibson EM-200 seen on eBay. #The $3.85 shipping cost was the first thing that got me worried. #I'd sworn I'd seen the pictures before. #Compare...

Close; NAMM is the National Association of Music Merchandisers.

If I had money...this thread would be really dangerous. Time to open up another bank account :-) Great work from all the builders. Thanks for taking the time to show us some fine looking instruments,...

I have a lot of respect for Ben Wilcox. "Stand by your brand!" http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Because when you hit it, you get "that" look on your F-A-C-E.

:-)

I can't seem to decide, favoring the ProPlec, the Golden Gate, a 1.14 Ultex, and a .73 Dunlop Derlin for different occasions .

I've gotta add my well wishes to the thread! Happy Birthday Scott, and thanks for all your hard work and support of the Cafe!

I've played violin for fifteen years now, and feel quite comfortable in all the keys. #I echo your (and...

I'd like to take a three-pronged approach to this reply.

1) #I would second the recommendation to give Collings mandos a serious look. #I just played a 'no-frills' MT model this past weekend that...

Hi Walter,

The consistency Collings has with these mandos has me absolutely floored! #In February, I visited Nashville, TN and stopped by both Gruhn's Guitars and the Gibson Showcase at Opry...

Today I bought this strap from a local retailer. I've previously had the Weber strap as well as the Levy strap mentioned above. I tried the Webb strap side by side with the Mandolin Softy and choose...

Totally agree!

I bought some TIs from Ted Eschliman, through his excellent jazzmando.com website. #I strung up my Weber Aspen #1 with them last night and have barely put "her" down sense. #I'm...

In my limited knowledge of mandolin refinishing, you'd be better off staying with what you have. # As others have suggested, it'd probably cost at least what you paid for the instrument; probably...

I had the privilege of playing an MT A model at Gruhn's Guitars in Nashville on February 21st. #If I would have had the cash on hand then and there, I'd have bought it. #I love my Weber Aspen #1 for...

If I may offer my not so humble and probably worthless opinion http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif, I'll second the vote for naming the two-point "Bighorn"

I'm auditioning (on violin) at Belmont University in Nashville this coming weekend, and will probably spend a good time of my extra time at the Gibson Showcase. #My friend and I hope to get a chance...
