Can't be that rare if there's one on Goodwill

There were only two made and I can guarantee two things. Number 1, the one Goodwill isn't one of them, and number 2, the mandolin on Goodwill wasn't made by Gibson, it's a pawn shop Chumlee special fake.

I just emailed goodwill to let them know the sad news,hopefully they will revise the listing.

I'm sure they were on eBay, found yours and thought that was what they had.

Yea,i'm sure thats the case..Just don't want someone else to be mislead by an import fake..I called the office but it's closed till tommorrow morning.
