Yeah, for $70 with a case, it's hard to beat this one. Bradley instruments were made in Japan for Veneman's music, who had shops around the Washington DC area in the '70s and '80s (they eventually sold out to GC). So, these instruments pop up around here from time to time and I had been wanting to get a Mandolin for while. I passed on a 1920s Gibson F style mandolin the same shop had earlier this year for a grand, and have been regretting it ever since.
Can anyone confirm the rosewood origin from the back shot?
