    Kentucky head stock inlay

    I found a KM500 online for a pretty good price (low enough to buy it and have it set up and still be ahead a few bucks), and it is sold as new from 'an authorized dealer'.

  13. That darn Goldtone GM100 again; my 2 cents (worth almost that)

    A band mate graciously loaned me his GM100; we play in two bands together, one is a constant volume war with two e-guitars and e-piano (and no arranged parts) so it is much appreciated.

    Not mine, (obviously) no FI, just caught my eye.

    That's a lot of mandolin to drop off at GW. I wonder if the 'shrunken binding' at the heel is a crack?

    Re: Ry Cooder isolated mandolin Love in Vain

    "Mr. Cranky" is a something I read years ago (maybe in GP?) it stuck in my mind. I love his playing completely and thoroughly, no disrespect intended.

    I have a couple of upcoming (outdoor) gigs and the singer has called for HOG.

    For the harmonica intro, the first two lines sit nicely, but copying the third line doesn't sound right yet.
