I've actually had mandola-MAS the past year...and acquired a few. I love the dola, but don't gig with one.
Recently, I best-offered a seller on ebay for one of these (in black); came with a near-perfect set-up out of the box: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gretsch-Guitars-G5120-Electromatic-Hollowbody-Electric-Guitar-103867990-i1166376.gc
...and dished an extra Mid-Mo for one of these (currently waiting on the UPS truck): http://www.betterguitar.com/equipment/guitars/samick/lasalle_jz4.html

So you traded some mandolins/mandolas for some guitars? The links are to pages for electric guitars not mandolas, right? Enjoy your new guitars.

Yes...but don't worry--I still have several of each, and a couple of odd citterns and zooks to boot.

you will not find happiness there ... it is written ...
smokey bistros, perhaps - peopled with those of small stature and a seedy disposition - hopeless, "B" film romantics sporting pencil mustaches ... blusey-riffs amongst plunging necklines and pin stripe suits ... louche companions, un-aware of your family name ...
... but there will come a time when you long for the fresh, honest-to-goodness sound of a good ol' mid-mo' ... pine for the pure and simple logic of tuning in fifths ...
i'll keep a light for you, shining in the window ...

Sounds like the folks I played with Monday evening...
I appreciate the foreboding lamentation, though. (What have I done?:(...)

Guitar finally showed up at almost 7 pm. I AM happy--amazing what 3 bills buys you these days.

Real nice Trinity Mandola at Roots Acoustic Music in Sheboygan Falls, WI, which is being discounted right now.
