Even though I have a new one on the way, I might not mind having a used one for the right price. Are there any dents or dings? There shouldn't be any fret wear at this point. I have purchased two...

I just ordered mine and expect to get it in a couple of days. Also ordered a Pignose 7-100 to go with it. I hate MAS, and Jim's video didn't help my resistance.

I recently acquired an LM-300 and it is an excellent mandolin for the price. I have had mandolins that cost much more that did not sound nearly as good to me. Good tone is subjective, so perhaps...

I'm happy for anyone that buys a new mandolin when they can't afford it :) It makes them happy!

Nashville is closer to where I live, and the bonus for me is that I have two daughters that live there. Keep it in Nashville!

I have a friend who has an Ibanez Model 524 in very good condition that he is interested in selling. Can someone tell me the approximate value of it?

Thanks,
Frank

I'm happy it worked for you Ignatius. Your detailed explanation of how you treated your picks may help others as well.

I am a Blue Chip user as well, and it does have a nice feel in terms of grip, however, I think the Plasti Dip will benefit me with the Blue Chip as well as with the others I use. I am sure that...

So far I have used it on a Wegen and a Pro Plec with no problems. I will try it on a Blue Chip tonight.

For the brief time I have used the treated pick, I have not noticed a significant change in my mandolin's tone. However, if it allows one to loosen the grip on their pick and not be concerned with...

If you have a problem with your pick slipping as you play, this may be a good solution for you. I just tried a product called Plasti Dip made by Performix, which I purchased from Home Depot for...

I am satisfied with the build quality of my particular Jam Master f-style, and I do own other very nice instruments, including BRW FT-MS #68, and a gorgeous Weber Custom Bitterroot in Amber gloss...

Mine is a canon! I think you will be very pleased.

Breedloves are great mandolins. Excellent fit and finish and I like the tone. I have owned a KF model and it was very resonant with especially nice lows. The string spacing at the bridge was a...

Got it from The Mandolin Store. Great to deal with as usual!

Well I will say this. The name "Jam Master" describes the instrument much better than it describes me. I'm glad they don't restrict the purchase to Masters of the Jam.

I just bought a Gibson Jam Master F-Style and I am very pleased with it. It is my first Gibson mandolin. It has nice build quality and great tone!

BRW #68 - 2007
Weber Custom Bitterroot - 2009
Breedlove Quartz KF - 2005
Mann EM-4 Hollow Body - 2009

Here is my new Custom Bitterroot. I love the tone of this mandolin with the original Brekke bridge.

Well there should be at least one emando in each of the 50 U.S. states. Mine is in Mississippi!

I never sell before I buy, because having bought is my reason to sell. Hey, I think you are right though, my MAS is under control. I got a new Weber in today, so I think that is it. Never mind the...

Joe, the mandos are alot cheaper than the Mazda MX-5 convertible I bought for the mid-life thing, as long as I keep selling mandolins when I buy. Another thing about my MAS, I always buy before I...

At IBMA last year during the mandolin workshop I noticed that most of the pros that were giving the workshop used the over-the-back method, and they unhooked their strap at the tailpiece strap button...

I think this sums up why I have MAS. Then again, I'm 55 years old and my generation did not have the unbelievable quantity of toys that kids seem to have today. So maybe we are making up for it...

I think if I lived in an area where more people played the mandolin, and there were music stores that carried nice mandolins, I wouldn't have to buy them to have them pass through my hands. Thus, I...
