    Default The classified ads are killing me...

    Geez, just wanted to say that latest natural finish Ratliff in the Classifies just knocks me out (NFI).

    But there are also a whole bunch of really nice A bodies on there right now. Dang. Gotta stop looking I think.

    Thanks to all the wonderful makers out there.

    Resistance is futile. The black hole is too powerful a force.

    The wood combo and the bracing are what I have on my mandolin and it is a winning combination. The price is exceptional. It is the quality of Collings or Pava or Northfields. It may not be your cup of tea, but it's certainly on a level where which you would prefer is subjective. SA on the warm side, Pava in the middle, Collings bright.

    I'm glad I live in the UK,, shipping and handling kill my spending power.
    I never fail at anything, I just succeed at doing things that never work....

    Window shopping, it's fun and easy. If you get too tempted pull the shades down.

    There over 600 mandolins listed these days. Is the Cafe becoming more popular or is the market becoming saturated, both, or something else? And yes, there is some really good stuff in the classifieds!
