Probably sounds great, especially for the price. I would replace the bridge with a low one-piece full-contact ebony or rosewood bridge.
I vote for using the term "upside down" tuners. It makes sense and is easier to understand than this "worm" business...
I see I'm again in a minority -- I check the forum daily, but almost never look at the classifieds.
Yep, ended at $585 plus $38 shipping plus tax. Someone will have over $600 in this before the first repair is attempted.
My logic is, "how much is a nice one?" Then, you subract the cost of the...
No, mine was all black. Don't be fooled by "today's asking prices," in my opinion they are worth $200-250 max and only as a wall-hanger, at that. BUT, more power to prices fueled by internet fads...
I always like Mas Amigos Mexican Kitchen on Nolensville Pike.
When I was young, people would ask what kind of music I played? I would say "contemporary music."
Now, they ask and I say "oldies." Of course, they are the same songs I've played since the 60's!...

Here's some of mine. Same model. Def a project. Repaired heel. Back was replaced by former owner, nice enough mahogany veneer, nailed on and (flat). Yep,...
Agree with jb, failed or unfulfilled love inspires more of my songwriting than happiness -- because when you're happy, you're too busy having fun to write a song. :cool:
I've introduced songs from...
I like the figure on the back.
I always tell people my "art" is performed in beer joints, NOT museums....
I could brag and say night clubs, but to be honest, mostly beer joints....
I spent a little time in NYC in the late 70's. I remember the jazz clubs had a $10 cover PLUS a 2 drink minimum per person -- a nearly impossible sum for an unemployed 22 year old...
It's called having a good time.
Pros: 1. Loosens ya up. 2. Makes people friendlier (at first.) 3. Less concern with details that don't matter to the music. 4. eliminates stage fright. 5. ...
I just noticed it says "Gibson" not "The Gibson." Not that it is either...:))
Works for me! :cool: Works for audiences, too! (within reason....)

Not sure how to do an invisible repair without having access to good-working vintage parts.
I did notice the guitar version of this body style uses a partially routed (not all the way...
I think a more reasonable goal is to play a group of instruments in your price range and then pick the one you think sounds and FEELS best. Then you can say you got the best one for you, rather than...
Nice job and great song choice!

Well, at the risk of sounding like an unfashionable old geezer, I did find these BRAND NEW distressed jeans by Balenciaga available for $2300...

Lets be careful here with jokes like that. This is a family friendly forum. -Jamie
Not being familiar with the brand, I read your title as, you, personally, had a feeling that mandolins, in general, are available again.....
which I found confusing....
maybe it is the heart...
You meant "mando world," right? ;)
When I was in college I drove a Yellow Cab, because the hours were flexible. The first day on the job I heard a rumor that another driver took an arab sheik to the airport and was given a $1000 tip....
I don't know the dealer, but:
Very cool guitar and pics! Her last name would really help. I've had good luck researching obituaries for information if you know the town and the last name. Having...
