    Default Favorite Mandolin Picture

    Hey All! Even though I’m a new member, I have search this site for months. It’s really a great place, and you guys had a huge impact on my decision when I bought my second mandolin, and now I have three. Down below is a picture of my two good mandolins and my Dad’s dobro. What’s your favorite picture of your mandolin?

    Welcome to the Cafe. I'm kind of fond of this one of my Spira mandolin. The soundhole is modeled after a cat's eye.

    This is maybe the favourite pic.of any of my 3 mandolins - the back of my Lebeda " Special " - although,this one of my Ellis DeLuxe "A" style looks decent.

    Jill - Your new Girouard looks amazing !.

    I can't locate a copy right now, but I always liked that shot of Pete Martin with a wry grin on his face holding his Gibson with the busted off scroll on the headstock. Maybe he'll post it.
