    Re: Proud Kentucky Pickers - Let's see 'em!!

    Hi Pete,

    I saw your post and pictures of your KM-1500. Really nice. I Just traded for a 2013 KM-1500 that I believe is varnish as well. It is very thin and you can feel the Adirondack wood grain...

    Well, got that done and thought I might as well post a pic to show that the "black tongue" can be turned into an area for decoration, for those so inclined.

    The Loar:What's the Story?

    Just wondering about this. The mandolins with "The Loar" affixed to the headstock.

    What's up with that? A low budget line that usurps the name equivalent in the mandolin world to Stradivarius and...

    Try another battery, too. I've had "new" batteries fail before in photo gear, especially the less expensive ones.

    Re: F style around 1000?

    I'll say it first (since others will for sure). Take that $1000 and buy a Kentucky KM900. A-Style, but head and shoulders above any F-Style at that price point.

    well............... he did say the KM1000 was a good one! It seems I'm hearing about many other cafe Gibson owners going out and buying up KM900,1000,1500. Don't tell Gibson Co. that!

    Yes. Cm pentatonic is more like the blues scale in C. I do not mean to use the relative minor, I would play the C minor pentatonic scale for the song the OP requested because it uses the bluesy notes...
