Hi all,

I'm having a hard time finding any videos of this mandolin on the internet. A video of the "Natural Satin" F model would be a plus.

Anyone have a link to a video or two?

Thanks. I appreciate the assistance.

I know there are some Youtube videos of a black one but I have never seen the natural except in ads. I am not sue how many were made, I think the owners of them here on the cafe have only accounted for about 20 or so...well with the double label which has the number written in the lower F hole. There is one for sale on Ebay right now.
Cheers, Brian

Here's one of me playing my Jam Master. It's just the microphone on the computer so it doesn't begin to pull in the full, deep tone.

There aren't a lot of them around, and I understand they are completely out of production. I feel quite fortunate to have #12. I have yet to play another mandolin that I think sounds as good as my Jam Master--even much more expensive ones.

No video, but I played a natural F-style Jam Master at the Gibson retail store at Opry Mills in Nashville that was an absolute tone monster. I didn't really think I liked the natural finish at the time, plus I didn't want to spend the extra $1,000 or so for the F-style. Looking back on it, I wish I'd been able to spend the additional cash, and the foresight to go ahead and get the natural F-style. But I am not at all unhappy with my A-style JM.

Here's a demo video from a couple years ago. I am madly in love with mine.
