Hi! I'm primarily a long time bass player but I've recently been learning some guitar as well. I have some friends that play in a string band here in North Carolina and I'm looking to learn a few chords on the Mandolin and hopefully start playing with them.
A couple days ago I bought this "vintage" Morgan Monroe Bean Blossom Mandolin on Craigslist for $110. I've installed a new set of light gauge strings and I've been learning a few chord progressions. It sounds pretty nice and plays well but could use a bit of set up adjustments. The tailpiece cover is missing but otherwise it's in very good condition.
I'm wondering if anyone can give some info on this instrument. I've contacted Morgan Monroe with the serial number to find out a date of manufacture.
Thanks, Dean.
