Would love to hear it.
Looks pretty classy - anyone out there played one of his F-5s?
I don't knowis this is the same one that was discussed on this thread and listed recently in the classifieds?
No, this one is from just last year.Quote:

Looks very nice indeed. It appears to have vintage sized fret wire rather than the larger modern style. Would be nice to hear it.
Listing Ended . . .Quote:

Sadly, I do not own #18.Quote:

As I said in the other thread:
They are as rare as henŽs teeth, they are very (!) well made, they sound extremely nice and they are a value, that is unbeatable at that price range (sound quality in the leage of high roller instruments, price half that of a Northfield F-5 - the HoGo in Germany, compared to what youŽd have to pay for a Northfield F-5 in Germany).
I lifted the main picture from the reverb ad.

I also find it nice, that you, Adrian, weighed in on the topic.
I ended up with this mandolin! Haven't had too much time to play on since I've gotten it but it is a killer mandolin. Here is a quick video I made the day I got it. Short, sweet and very poor video (and audio) quality :grin: I'll have something of better quality at some point... Stoked to have this in the collection!
