Some eye candy (as they say over the puddle) for mandolin enthusiasts.

no matter what side of the Atlantic - and even in faraway landlocked North Thailand - those are the stuff of dreams. Memo to self: Get back to TAMCO in Brighton next time you're in the UK.

Holy Moly. (Moley?) That's my house, my kid's college tuition, and two of my trucks right there. They don;t even need to be played they're so beautiful to look at.
What year is The Gilchrist Model 4? is that a conversion Steve did?
Nice group photo.

I'd stay away from the photobucket site. My anti-virus software did not like it.

Very distinctive wood selection.

So, how do you keep that group from instantaniuosly combusting? I'm sure that you're over critical mass.

Are those all just balanced on the (treble) side(s)? Nice camera angles.
I am sure you were careful and all but... A stiff breeze caused thousands in damage! :crying:

Its a '79 F4 not a conversion.
Not balanced, if you flip the photo by 180 degrees you will see how its done.
A few more photos.

A couple of people have reported viruses when visiting my photobucket site to download the photos. If you want them I will email them to you.
