If this gets re-listed I am going to ask the seller if I can send him my Fender mandolin to be photographed next to the Senator's. That would surely increase the value of mine to where I'd be able to...

Really? I've always thought this was one of the best working forums I have ever used. I didn't know that it had bugs.

I know how you feel. I broke my arm about 3 weeks ago and can't play anything at the moment. I look at my guitar and my mando and then pick one of them up and try to play and I am quickly reminded...

The music store that was in Downtown Disney only sold Fender mandolins. It has been gone now for several years. It was owned by George's Music and they're similar to a GC as far as inventory goes but...

If you put that mandolin on display here between the lyre and "Thor's Hammer" hanging on the wall I doubt many people would even bat an eye.

I think it is a nice looking piece of folk art that any...

Gordon Brown demonstrates proper picking.

I thought it was Ben Parker said that.

If I take my new lightbulb and sit it next to a strobe light for a few days while I am at work will it open up any faster?

In the spirit of the Cafe and one of the things that has pretty much driven me away from visiting this site daily, ask some of the workers why they bother to build mandolins when people could just...

I like (in no particular order) Peter Ostroushko, Chris Thile, Mike Marshall, Ronnie McCoury, Andy Leftwich, and Ricky Skaggs.

In the not so famous category I really enjoy the videos posted by...

I see you like Ovation. I love the look of them (both the guitar and mandolin). Every time I go into Guitar Center I always take the Ovation mandolin off the wall and try to get it in tune and I...

I think the Mandolin Cafe needs a wiki page. It would be useful tool to have for when someone replies with the "you could do a search" response. People could just search the wiki for what they are...

Here's something a little different. Well not actually. It is just a great arrangement of a traditional song.

There's a growing number of people who think the QuingDao plant (China) is holding back on quality, at least for the electrics like the Les Paul and SG. The conspiracy theory is the Epi line is...

Half the fun at a Nickel Creek concert is watching Sean Watkins fight his electronic tuner. A guitar like this would kill most of their jokes.

These CF mandolins have me scratching my head. Probably the most innovative and original looking mandolins that I have ever seen were Rigel and they were made out of wood. Now you have these copies...

I do this several times a week during the summer. Air conditioned house to humid back porch to back inside. I've been to outdoor weddings in July where the heat and humidity are unbearable and the...

I have a Fender FM63S. I think you're better off staying with the Kentucky and saving your money a little longer until you have enough for something like an Eastman. I'm sure some will disagree with...

I think you'd be better off getting some replies by putting up some pictures. I've only seen flamed backs go one way so I can't really comment on what I have never seen. What year is the mandolin...

Ronnie McCoury has the best hair EVER...

This time of year I think FedEx is better. I don't know if it is the union that screws up UPS during the holidays or if it just bad luck. During the rest of the year I like UPS. But I'll never depend...

Ever read any of the Ron O threads?

Paul McCartney is awesome and his name is on some of the best songs ever recorded but he's no Chris Thile when it comes to mandolin. I don't think there is anyone alive today that will ever achieve...

Personally I'd invest in a better bridge or tailpiece. No one ever sees the back so why spend the extra $100 for it. Resale may be better but it won't be a $100 better. Saving $100 today is worth...

Going back the the original post, a good Martin or Taylor guitar is going to be around $2-3k. Martin currently sells a D-28 with a list of $39,999. I think that is more than any Gibson F model being...
