There are many reasons a good instrument will not sell...price being one of them. I finally sold my Taylor guitar after many months. It sat because of price. I kept getting low ball offers from non serious people.

You have a saddle for an instrument holder? Year and voicing on the RD?

Sometimes the right mandolin just has to find you! Congratulations.
My old 82 X-braced Gil F-5 is at Shoenberg Guitars for sale "NFI" It is a pretty good one, the X bracing gives it a fatter/thicker sound than tone bars, One reason I got rid of it is that's not my sound I like. I'm a tone bar fan! Its pretty close to what Ronnie McCoury's Gil is like in sound I think, His is a few #'s before I believe?

These are my hieroglyphics over the last 6 months for asking prices for Gilchrist. Date of sale, location, model year, Serial number ,and asking price. I have some how committed to #794 in his new batch. MAS ouch.

Absolutely agree with these comments about Mr. Boyd.

Didn't sell in the first pass, but was relisted and sold a couple days later. Looked it up in the Gilchrist archive and note it was built in a batch of instruments alongside F models for Ricky Skaggs and Aubrey Haynie. It has an owner label saying it was made for Mick Carney—anybody here know of him?
