Just a note - I gave REVERB a quick look this morning under Acoustic Guitars between the 2000 and 3000 price range. Sure enough, there was an abundance of Breedlove guitars; more in fact than the...

Hello everybody.
Recently (within the last week or so) I've spoken with several very reputable and well-known here on the Cafe mandolin retailers about the current state of pandemic related...

Hi all.
Can't say what was running through my mind, but, as usual, the good people here helped unclog the thought.
Despite the attractive financial offer, flat-out not worth it.
Thanks a million...

Yep, upon further thought I absolutely agree. Re-thinking the whole she-bang.

THAT indeed has crossed my mind. Thanks.

Hi everyone.
I think I might know the answer to this, but I'm wondering if it's worth the chance.
A certain big box retailer is offering a particular mandolin I've always wanted (KM 855 Artist...

Hi everyone!

Why is the "White Lightning for sale on ebay $1000.00? Seems it's been on there a couple of years and the seller never responds - ever
Seems it's just a so-so mando with white paint...

Hi Jeff.
Yep, you're right and I dropped the ball on this one. My apologies(seems I'm doing that a lot lately).
Thanks for the insight and wisdom.

Best wishes,

I will indeed. My apologies for kind of a rough bit of humor. Not being married and having no children I sometimes forget myself. It will NOT happen again. Sorry. Thanks for the reminder.

Thank you. Glad I asked as my guess was wrong.

Hello all.
I've noticed many members using OP in their posts. I think I know what it means, but I also thought I could jump from a 170 foot bridge into a river as a "macho" stunt to celebrate my...

Hi Carl. Thanks for the post. You hit it square on the nose. Rather than belittle, or be arrogant or even rude, I would rather put the instrument down and never play again. Which was my ultimate...

Did you use Super Glue or Titebond Hot Hide Glue?":-):grin:

Good evening everyone.
Last night I started a Post with some trepidation. Truthfully, I'm glad I did, as I received exactly what I expected from the forum members - incite, truth and knowledge. For...

Don - under no circumstances should you apologize. In fact, it is me who should be apologizing for a very poorly written post. It was very much NOT about what you wrote- which was both informative...

Amen! You couldn't be more correct!

Sage advice. Thank you.

Almost sounds like we're related:-) Thanks.

Well said. Point taken, thanks.

Hello everyone.
I was really reluctant about this post but decided to take a stab at it. Hopefully it will come out alright without me offending everyone in the Café.
I've been an avid reader for...

Hi Don(and pops).
Thank you for the post - it helped a lot. Can do with the measurements, thousanths it is. You are 100% correct about the Loar. It is a comparatively poor made mando comparaed to...

Hi Don. Thanks for the follow up interest. I'm dead serious about the keeping these 3 particular mandolins. Each has a story behind it and they will always be with me. That said, I may have...

Thanks for the info Don. I'll be keeping these particular mandolins until they bury them with me:-) But I appreciate and understand your insight and expertise.
