Gibson mm v70411

[Crocket]

Does anyone have any information on the Derrington-signed V70411? I just purchased it and trying to find out any info on it. I purchased it from Sam, and he couldn't recall who he bought it from....someone down south?

Thanks for your help.

MM-70 is a model number for a older epiphone f mandolin. # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # #

He's referring to a Gibson Master Model and that's the serial number. Charlie Derrington would never have signed any Epiphone mandolins.

Try looking here it's listed but I'm too tired to see who chimed in it took me twenty minutes just to find this tread it's a good one. MM serial numbers (http://www.mandolincafe.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=12;t=37137;st=0)

Thanks...According to the thread, it looks like a fellow name Chris Stanley owned it. I tried to send him a message but for some reason it says that the message cannot be sent to this recipient. Anyone know Chris?

Thanks,
Dave

I just heard from a lil bird that your new mando sounds great!
Would that be Chris Stanley the builder?

Hi Mike:

Fancy meeting you here....yes, word travels fast. I went to First Quality yesterday and brought the new Gibson there. Lo and behold, a big red bus with Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver were inside jamming when I walked in. Doyle was playing one of the new Sullivan prototype banjos (without picks, sounding great!!). I pulled out my Derrington and let Doyle play it. It sounded great with him playing it (can't figure out why I can't make it sound that way...??).

I also reminded Doyle that he played my Cherry Master Model a couple of years back, and he remembered it also.

Later,

I am told by Chris that he bought it originally, but sold it to a fellow by the name of Ron Coleman (in Michigan?). Does anyone recognize that name?

Thanks for your help,
