Isn't this what the Archive is for?

[Jeff_Wicks]

Uhh no ... The name of the forum is post a picture of your mandolin... I asked post a picture of any and all Gibsons you have. So i believe im in the right place.

[mrmando]

[F-2 Dave]

Or maybe, just maybe, I'm the only one here who actually owns a real Gibson. You Posers.

[Backlineman]

Mine looks kind of like Shawn's only different.

[mrmando]

I dig the personalized TRC.

[Shawn Gambrel]

Haha thanks .. I think it gives it more of a look.. It helps make up for the loss of binding

[Mike Snyder]

Mine looks kind of like Shawn's and Mike E's, only different...............and more beat up.

Hey, thanks, Mike. More pictures at http://www.mandolinarchive.com/perl/show_mando.pl?3261

We are just looking after it for a next generation mandolin player out there somewhere.

O.K. it's been previously posted, but remains my only Gibson, about one year newer than my father (still doing just fine, the both of them). Taken about two months ago or so. . .

[Paul Statman]

With a beautiful white top - and the mandolin, too..:)) :))

[Eric F.]

My 1928 A-4.

[F-2 Dave]

I may have told you this before, Eric, but thats a beautiful A4. Is it all original?

[Life Is Good]

Dad looks great fatt-dad. He's definitely your dad. Do you think living near the beach helps keep him in great condition? I feel healthier when I'm at the beach.

[Nick Triesch]

Mine is just an old "23" Snakehead without a shaved neck! Nick Just having fun!

[Mike Romkey]

Here's my 1920 A, which is off at the Old Town Pickin' Parlor so Edward can give it a fret job. Not pictured: an Adam Steffey F-5 and a 1950 F-12.

My father has three secrets to good health: Eat pickled herring, go to church and keep breathing. He does not live near the beach (never did). He was a "Beltway Bandit" (I grew up inside the Beltway) and walked a mile each day to the bus (pre-subway) for his job downtown (D.C.). He now lives in Madera, California with my step-mom. For myself, living in Richmond, Virginia we do get to the beach and every year await our week on Hatteras Island, where I don't take my Gibson, but do take my beach mandolin. I recently sent him my Hondo so he can learn to play - never too old, eh?

f-d

Thanks, Dave. It is in very nice condition. As far as I know, everything is original except the case, which is period-correct but not original.

[Space Pup]

Here's mine.


Sorry, pictures won't come up.
