    Apparently we in the UK are not allowed to visit the Guitar Center website.

    They'll probably be wondering why they no longer get orders from this side of the pond. I believe it's because of a misunderstanding of this - https://www.eugdpr.org

    It wss listed as an "1892 Harmony Electric Mandolin." It may have been an 1892 mandolin that someone slapped a pickup on, but that's not what they said. No matter, somebody snatched it up.

    Actually it's listed as a Used Harmony Est 1892 electric mandolin because that is what it says on the label. Est stands for Established. There's a screen shot below. It was imported in the 70's or 80's, the pickup was installed at the factory and it's one of these. They are not a lot to write home about.
