    Is it a white mandolin or is your picture missing?

    It's a fake, the tuners are all wrong and it's a bad overspray.

    Maybe it's a glass mandolin, made like this fiddle:

    We have a thread here someplace about those with one member actually admitting to buying one. His comment wasn't real flattering. Let me see if I can find it.

    Yup, here it is. Different account name, same mandolin, same verbiage in the ad.

    Mike,
    Thanks for finding the other thread. This one comes from Texas like the one in the thread. The seller says it's modeled after Sam Bush's - oh really!?
    Wasn't there a bunch of the pawn shop Gibson fakes from Texas as well?
