I ran across one of these today... its not the student model, and not the artist model, so its the intermediate model and somebody autographed the label. It sounded nice-- not real powerful but sweet. Nice high end, not much bass. Oval sound hole, carved top and back, looked pretty similar in shape to the Vega Cyliderback that I was A/B'ing it with... I couldn't tell what kind of back and sides... I'm guessing maple? Could it be birch?
It seemed very well made-- the seller wanted $850 for it. Is this a good ball park price?
Any information on Bacon Mandolins would be a help... I found one thread here, and one helpful one over at the Co-Mando list serve.
Thanks!
