Re: Don Julin's beat-up Nugget for sale
Actually, I like it with the extreme evidence of joyful playing. Doesn't bother me a bit. To me it just shows how much it was played, which is a plus for me. I use a tonegard and an armrest, but I can't stand having a pick guard on a mandolin it makes me claustrophobic and limits how you can attack the e string. Personally I would buy a mandolin like this in a second if it had the sound I wanted. For me the great thing about getting an instrument that is not in perfect mint condition is that you don't have to stress about keeping in that condition. You can just get on it and play as hard as you wish.
