Peavey e-mando here is almost certainly the former property of Cafe member Jim Nollman. Probably the only extant e-mando actually used to communicate with whales.

Definitely looks like it - I traded Jim for it a couple months ago - Jim was upfront about the string spacing - when I got it, it wasn't a good fit - I sold it locally - seems like they are fishing with that price.

**mrmando** · Apr-19-2007, 10:35pm

Fishing, eh? Maybe if they catch something, they can feed the whales with it...

**holdenzdad** · Apr-20-2007, 1:53pm

Thanks for the chuckle!

**delsbrother** · Apr-20-2007, 7:48pm

OK, it doesn't have a pickup, but it should!

ps Good to know it came from a highly educated previous owner...

**wichitamando** · Apr-20-2007, 8:12pm

The back on that is gorgeous!

**jmkatcher** · Apr-20-2007, 8:32pm

It's sort of Rigel G110ish.

**Jim MacDaniel** · Apr-25-2007, 2:04pm

Not one, but two mandocasters just listed:

1966 -- I think this is the same one that keeps popping up with an starting price of $2K.

1957 -- Their starting price for this one is $3K, so I guess they are counting on some Lawrence Welk fan paying a premiuim for it. (Apparently it was once owned by Neil LeVang of the LWO.

)

**mrmando** · Apr-25-2007, 4:16pm

If you buy the LeVang here in the Classifieds, it's $3.5K. Hm...

A '57 in good condition might go for $3K regardless of who owned it. This one has a crumbling tuner button and the case is beat up, but the instrument looks good otherwise in the photo.

I was expecting a not-so-great design on the Peavey mando, but
the body looks rather nice...

If Paul wins that I don't think the airline is going to let him carry that on when he goes back to Thailand. I want to see its case.

**PCypert** · May-03-2007, 9:40am

I don't know how I'll get that thing back or if I'll ever even try. As it is I'll be coming back to Thailand from my summer visit with a Zouk and a new mandolin if all goes as planned. This thing will get me flagged for sure

But for 11 bucks I had to try. lol

**Ted Eschliman** · May-04-2007, 12:26pm

Paul, you could poke an eye out with that thing. I hope it comes with safety goggles.

**mrmando** · May-08-2007, 1:44pm

Any ideas about this one?

It looks like the builder knew his/her stuff...

**mrmando** · May-15-2007, 4:39pm

Well, it's gone now, and I didn't win it. I thought, judging from the pickup placement, that it could just possibly have been built by Joe Glaser. In which case someone got a screamin' deal. But of course I have no proof.

**delsbrother** · May-17-2007, 12:14am

I had to bid on this CUATRON.

**mrmando** · May-17-2007, 2:20am

What's funny is it says "Ovation" in the description. Maybe the seller needs new reading glasses.

Not a bad price for an MM68 ... wonder what the reserve is?

**delsbrother** · May-28-2007, 7:12pm

Great price on a sweet little BC Rich Pentabass.

Perfect for Spinal Tapping...

I didn't know Dr. Frankenstein built mandolins?

5-string neck is definitely from a StewMac kit. Makes you wonder what they did with the rest of the kit. Strap looks like a dog leash, which might or might not be appropriate.

Niles baby, this one's for you!

Tom, that's what I meant by "little". I guess I should've said Stonehenging.
