Estne volumen in toga, an solum tibi libet me videre?
That's funny. Maybe the dude sold the pickguard outside of ebay and didn't want to pay the insertion price for another auction. That's pretty radical editing, but he could do it if the auction had no bids.
Marlow "Breadwinner" emando. Did I mention my birthday was coming up? I even like the color.
As usual... I love this guy's stuff. One day.. (unfortunately not today!)

This just showed up at Vintage Instruments, not Ebay, but this thread seems like a good place for it:

Crump B1 / Old Wave GOM
OK, I'm going out on a limb here.. Please experts let me know if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/VINTAGE-GIBSON-ELECTRIC-EM-150-MANDOLIN_W0QQitemZ7362867564QQcategoryZ10179QQrdZ1 QQcmdZVie
wItem" target="_blank">THIS</a> isn't a Gibson.. Or at least it hasn't been in a very long time...
Hmm.. If linky no worky, item # is 7362867564.
Didn't Salvador Dali do a painting called The Persistence of Mandolins at one point? Hee hee... What a cool looking thing!

The link
I've found that trimming down ebay's URL until it's pretty much just the item number is the best way to get a good link.
I might buy that it was some sort of prototype if it weren't for the headstock. Hard to think Gibson would custom make that sort of godawful headstock instead of using some standard florentine (F-5 type) neck/headstock that they had laying around.
Sorry, but I couldn't let this slip by unnoticed. Check out his other items too (the bass looks kinda Shutt-ish).
I wonder if the CBOM crowd might get a little "horny" for that one.

I waaaaaant. That would be so perfect for the Viking Mandolin Surf Band...

Is this supposed to be a strap pin, or just something to impale yourself on?

Looks like he either added the wrong pics to his mando auction, or the wrong text to his bass auction.

Yeah, I saw that one, figured it was just a mistake.Looks like he either added the wrong pics to his mando auction, or the wrong text to his bass auction. #
A white sunburst 4-stringer!
I have one of these, and it's really cool. Mine has the optional humbucking pickups Phantom made for it, and the volume and tone controls have been replaced with series/parallel switcvhes, to the instrument has 8 different tones, all of which sound great.
I have mine strung in octaves like a regular 12 string. I have it tuned to C instead of E so I could get the octaves on the 3rd course.
I don't know if Phantom is still in business.
did anybody notice the early 50's F-12 with bigsby pickup that just sold for under 3K? that's a little piece of history i would have liked to own.

Mike: have you ever tuned it to an open tuning and put a bottleneck to it? If so, did you like it, and how different did it sound to playing slide up the neck on one of your guitars?I have one of these, and it's really cool.

Screamin' deal. "Nudie," the Nashville tailor who made all the spangly suits for country stars, owned a Kay mandolin that had been re-necked by Paul Bigsby. Somebody tried to sell that axe on eBay for $12,500, and it didn't even have a pickup!
