    I would think that the carbonite freezing process would play hell with the glue on a mandolin. He might've cased that bad boy up first. Tsk!

    Just be sure to let it thaw over night so the finish doesn't crack.

    I'm curious, because I am a fan of the star wars universe. What is in the picture? I love all the mandolin and star wars jokes :D
    May the fifths be with you!

    I knew it all this time: Jabba the Hutt plays the banjo.

    But Solo is a multi-instrumentalist

    four pics of Han Solo. First one is of Solo about to serenade Greedo with a mandolin. Second is of Solo playing for the gang in the Death Star control room dressed as a storm trooper. Third is of Solo and N F5 in carboniferous. Fourth is a Captain Corelli Mandolin gag with Dolo, but it's difficult to make out.

    This was the real reason Han and luke eventuay fell out - he caught Skywaker using a capo.

    In fact, Luke asked him the best intervallic jump for a Lydian improv. Han said, 'use the fourth, Luke'

    It's Xmas time - as a child, have you ever had Santa tell you "I am your father"?

    And the relative minor got angry at that, prompting the revenge of the sixth

    .... hahahaha, this is great.
    For some reason, I can really see Han Solo playing the mandolin, I don't know why, it just seems to fit him.

    Well, Han did state that he put his faith in a good "Blaster". After much research, I've found that this "Blaster" was an F style, designed by Jedi Master Virzi. Alderaan spruce top, hand carved (when you have 6 hands, you can use SO many more finger planes at the same time). Of course, the supply of Alderaan spruce got cut off, for some reason, and the collectors are paying a fortune for them now!
