Perhaps, to be the only owner of an Armenian electric mandolin in your town. Whatever that's worth.
What a beautiful mandolin.
Is it left handed?
The seller just needs to add that it’s being sold by Django Reinhardt’s grandson -that would add a couple of thousand to the price.
was it signed by lloyd loar?
So there's something worse coming from Armenia than the Kardashians, then? Good to know. Good. To. Know.
I am a total sucker for stuff like that. Comes under the heading of "So bad it is good".
Now I am wondering if the neck is straight.
The last thing I needed the first thing this morning......
Oh man... that song still tears me RIGHT THE F apart...Quote:

Looks like a used toilet lid with ablam. :)
