Always thought it would be cool to get one after reading about them. Was looking for a bit of a beater to keep in my office for lunch time playing and saw one on craigslist. Maybe I paid up a little ($310) because it has two stable-ish cracks from the bridge to the tail piece but I have a buddy who is a luthier who can sure them up for me. Things sounds really nice and has the cool faux tortoise shell pick guard and over the tail piece cover. Also the guy I got it from was a riot and had a 1910 Gibson mando family (mandolin, mandola and mandocello all blonde with the nice design around the sound holes) so I was excited to buy from him. Reason I'm posting is that there is a serial number on the back of the headstock. Not sure if it can tell me anything about the instrument. Either way I'm happy with the purchase.
