I think I got lucky and bought a custom made Solid Body Electric Mandolin on ebay with a maple top like a Les Paul and neck through construction. Sustain is awesome!
Since my purchase in July I...

Piece of JUNK! I'd save my money for a Trinity College, an excellent instrument.
Fit & Finish on Celtic Star is very poor. The electronics are ok but you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear...
I put some light mando strings on my OM. No problem with the length of strings but the light strings may be too light. Think I'll try the mediums from www.webstrings.com next time.

A Solid Body Electric Octave Mandolin has become a staple on my recordings of all strings of music since the strings on an Octave Mandolin are flexible enough for bends.
I also find that an Octave...
It appears that the standard mandolin strings will fit on my Octave Mandolin. I certainly hope this is the case because I can buy standard mandolin strings at $2.74 a set at www.webstrings.com...

No, ebay actually.
Dolly's Uncle Bill is a Kentucky Mando Dealer so he could probably get Trinity College Octave Mandolins but I didn't want to wait and $430 new w/ HSC seemed like a good deal to...
Does England sell kits?
The band is Naomi & the Wood Brothers. Both Naomi and Rickey Wood have custom made England Mandolins. They look and sound GREAT! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif
I got mine for $430 w/HS case but I would say YES it is worth $450+ w/o the case. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif
Where can I get an Allan Tailpiece for my Trinity College Octave Mandolin? http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif
I know it is an Asian made instrument but it is as good or better than anything that I have seen mass produced in the US.

Octave Mandolin and standard mando same.
As a guitar player turned Mandolin player, I LOVE the Octave Mandolin, much more versatile. You can do bends, slides, have twice as much range, really more...
George is very knowledgeable.
How could he not be. He was taught by Chet Atkins (Chet's nephew has all his guitar, btw), Roy Acuff and Bill Monroe.

Rhonda needs new management.
Last week they had a picture of her in the Tennessean wearing a green dress.
She looked like a Punk-Artist-Redux.
