I just received two of the Gilchrist picks from Carter's. Great people to deal with. I like the pick a lot. It fits tone wise right between a Blue Chip 55 and a Primetone. The Blue Chip is a bit...

Another vote for Sully. Quality all the way.
Yes, I am fortunate to have a degree of financial freedom. But I can assure you this mandolin is being PLAYED and not just admired. But that said it was the 2 pt design and the herringbone purfling...
I was over MAS until I was reading a thread about mando shops in Denver that said there was a nice Weber Bighorn in one. Well, it's no longer in Colorado.

Getting in on this a bit late, but I’ll go through my experience. I traded up from a Loar 520 to a used 2015 Gibson F9 and then to a used 2016 Gibson Mandolin Store Custom F5. The jump in the...
I once bought a used Stratocaster that was advertised as "with accessories." I went to see it and as it so happened it was a mother selling it for her son who was away at college. After checking...
I did something similar. While undergoing chemo/radiation treatments for tonsillor cancer I pulled the trigger on a used Gibson Mandolin Store Custom F5G.
Apparently it worked. I’m much better...
I used to own this model Loar.
It would be a no brainer, for your budget and needs.

New black tuners installed!
Ivan, when I called Weber they asked for the serial number and then looked up the build specs. I bought the mando used here through the classifieds. They told me it was a custom build for The...
I have a 2015 Weber Yellowstone Oval A and wanted to change to black buttons. Call Weber directly and they should be able to help. They sold me a new set of tuners with black buttons at cost......
When you're ready to play, just bite the bullet and buy this.

I recently bought this used Weber Yellowstone Oval A. I had Randy Wood scoop the fretboard extension last week. It’s a very nice mandolin.
I've played guitar for over 50 years and picked up the mandolin about 4 years ago. I've no interest in learning another instrument...but I did play pickle ball for the first time this morning...and...
I recently bought a year old Gibson F5 Custom that was one of the Mandolin Store's special models and had your same concern. Of course this is only a singular case, but I am extremely pleased with...
If you really want to get discouraged, just go to a Chris Thile concert.
You'll never feel worthy enough to play again!
You can go to almost any office supply store, UPS store, etc., and they will grind off the backbone and comb bind it for you. Only costs a few dollars.
I saw him in a solo concert last year. It was one of the best musical concerts of any genre I've seen.
Will see him next month in concert with Bela Fleck.

They are calling the km 950 "modern" and the km 900 "traditional."
I saw this model on Amazon for $647.48.
Pricing error? One left.
I only wish I were in the market for an A mando!
I really can't say enough about this mandolin. I found a used 2016 Mandolin Store Custom F5 and pulled the trigger. It's a step above an F5 and a step below The Fern in the Gibson pecking order.

Count me in.
You could also go to the Godin website and order a replacement. If they don't have it listed, you can contact them by email and make a request. I asked about replacing my older A8 bridge with the...
Clearly, I'm in! :>)
I took my mandolin down to Randy Woods' shop earlier this week and had the bridge installed. The store is pretty amazing. Great mandolins, acoustic guitars and some very nice electric guitars as...
