I haven't heard from Mark Simon yet. If I don't, I'll get hold of some of the names I'm seeing here. Is that the way to find somebody: Just ask for people's rec's?
It really is an unusual mando: as...
Thanks, folks. I've got a message in to Mark Simon, and I agree that no one will want to give an estimate without having it. I'm also just trying to figure out how much more money/time to put into...
This mandolin was made by Mark Simon https://www.marksimonguitars.com/
when he and John Monteleone were the repair shop at Mandolin Bros. It was his first and only. It sounds absolutely great BUT...
Thanks, guys! I need to remember scamdoc.com. You think it's about getting the $90 or the credit card info?

Scam?
MUCH better!
Hello, folks. Did those videos sound good to you? If Sharon Gilchrist and Emory Lester (on YouTube) can't make them sound good, $800? Am I wrong? Please correct me.
If what you care about is sound, not resale, and if you have time to travel, look, and listen, and if you have $5K in your pocket, I think you’ll be able to find a 10K sounding mandolin. So, no.

Sorry about the double uploads. I don’t know what I’m doing.
184191184192184191184192Well, since I posted last (I’m the OM), I bought an HG Harless for $197 on eBay that I liked better than the Mandostang. Here’s a pic. Then I sold the Mandostang. Then I saw...
I bought the f hole model of the lump from Arthur’s music in Indianapolis. My Strad-o-Lin had literally fallen apart in my hands while playing chords, which is all I knew how to do in 1971. BUT I was...
Oops. I said above humbucker; they are twin single coil.
Well-written, thorough review, with an obviously great depth of knowledge. Thanks. It’ll be interesting to see if the weak “e” is addressed soon.

Beautiful, Andrew!
I bought one to find an answer to my question. $197 on eBay. Cheap, right? And, yes, it looks cheap: basic spray paint on top of pine body, BUT beautifully setup and better sound from the twin...
Episode 3, highlighting Hank Williams, will make you cry. Comments from Marty Stewart are consistently good.
Wow, and Gene Autrey battling aliens from beneath the earth!
Do these get any love? I can't find anyone talking about them. (And from his website it looks a if he doesn't make them any more?)
Thanks,
Bruce
Thanks again, all! Just bought a used mandostang for $325, shipping included.

Excellent info. I haven’t thought much about Chinese—that’s what the Eastwood mandostang is, I assume—but will take a look.
Sheesh. I missed ALL that on the Jerman. I've been looking at so many, mt mind is blurring. Thanks for telling me!
I'm just plugging into the band's system at present. All I've got at home is an...
Three interesting electric mandolins tht fit my above thinking, I think.
Here's a used Jerman http://www.crossroadswood.com/forsale.html
And here's a Girouard one-off? ...
You folks are the best. You've given me all kinds of excellent advice and I appreciate it! You've made me think especially hard about the following: 1) Do I want to sound like another electric lead...
