Just wanted to say thanks...
To whomever keeps buying the mandolins I have been thinking of buying. MAS has hit me hard the last few weeks, almost pulled the trigger on three over the past couple weeks and the day I decide to do it they're gone.
You guys are helping me to keep my wallet in my pocket. Thanks! No, really thanks...it's Christmas time, now is not the time for MAS to hit.
All well and good for you, but that Birdseye Collings is still at Gryphon.
But you're not interested in the birdseye collings you only want that EllisQuote:

I want that Ellis too, man. But, I also want my Collings. I also want a Red Diamond, and a Passernig. 1/4 of the way there!
Haha. Yes, indeed the same thing is happening to me. I lusted out loud for the Black Night Gibson at the Mandolin Store. Gone. Then it was between the new Goldrush they had and some used ones here. Gone. I'll think about a used Collings for a bit. Gone. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.Quote:

Not at a cost, for I'm parting with another Martin I've had for 25 years. But it's going to a good friend.Quote:

There's also a honey amber Collings F that would look so nice with my Collings honey amber A-style. Thank heaven I am too broke to buy it.
I'm about 99% sure I decided to buy a new mandolin today.
The birdseye F at Gryphon is honey amber. It is stunning to the point of distraction.Quote:

Joe, give it some time, play it in, maybe while you are waiting for the top to break in try some Monel strings or Curt Mangan string (lower tension). Enjoy it!Quote:
