  1. Re: On Reverb: Epi archtop mandocello conversion

    Just FYI. This is not a vintage Masterbuilt. This is a newer made over seas model. Still might be a good instrument though. I have a 50's Epi Byron I had converted. Best mandocello I've played.
  2. Re: On Reverb: 1920s Leland Brilliantone (Larson Bros.) mandocell

    I have walked down the street and played this numerous times.

    Re: Epiphone Firebird Mandolin on CL

    So is that a good price? Doesn't sound like much. I don't think they make the 8 string versions any more but do they still make those? Don't think much of the color though.

  11. Re: This is what I get from browsing eBay late at night

    You've got to be careful when it's late and you find yourself on Ebay. I was once sipping Jack Daniels and the following morning discovered I'd bid on a beach buggy. I can't tell you the relief I...

    Re: Ebay Gibson A-9 - What the F^#* ???????

    You guys are so cynical! Look at the seller's handle, composed of two great American icons, Johnny Cash and JFK. If that doesn't inspire confidence in his integrity, what will?

    Re: Vintage Women with Vintage Gibsons

    I always got a kick out of Gibson's bass banjo, especially picturing a cute flapper gal with it. Bet they didn't sell many of these.

    I believe those pictures were the same pictures used in a 2012 ebay auction. I strongly suspect a scam.
