It's for sale?
Less talk, more pick.
I cant help but chuckle at that one Ken...but no..its not..Im under strict orders from my War Dept. to hold on to this one for a while. Ya know...its been along time since Ive had a mando with Schaller tuners....I forgot how good they are..these are super. Now if they would only come with removeable buttons with screws. I will eventually get a James TP and a Steve Smith bridge on her too.
You don't like the ones Bud set 'er up with?

..its not so much that I dont like them its that I like the looks of a Loar style bridge and I like the function of the BJ TP...what on it is fine but...hey..you know me..I like to hot rod things...
Congrats, Scotti, that is a good looking instrument. I hope it serves you well for a _long_ time.

..the tone is fantastic..for a new mando I couldnt ask for any better. I can tell "the" sound is in there just waiting to mature. Its going to be a deep, throaty mando.
... and who is Kay Dee? (on the truss cover)

..I know...but house expenses prevail....I dont want to do it but I need to.
Yeah but Scotti, at least you're selling it for the right reason and making a sound investment in your future... I remember a long time ago when a certain mandolin player (who shall remain un-named) sold a late 30's Gibson to raise the money to buy a brand-spanking-new Triumph Bonneville motorcycle...then proceeded to total said motorcycle...leaving said mando player in the hospital with no Gibson mandolin OR Triumph Bonneville... #
Moral of the story - it ain't easy, but you're doing the right thing!

..yep..your right brother...its a hard thing to do...but I have to do what I have to do...Im sure I will get something else in the future....Seriously..this mando is a really good mando....probably the loudest new mando I have ever owned...and the tone is there too. It will make some one very happy....I need to let her go fairly quickly..so anybody interested give me a shout and we will talk.
