Just saw this over on Banjo Hangout, but didn't see it posted here: https://www.banjohangout.org/classified/75726
NFI, just strange to see such a nice mandolin with that kind of provenance not listed at the Cafe....

I think it was in the classifieds here a few weeks ago?
Think the seller will get $27.5K for it? That's substantial, even for a Gilchrist.

Agreed. I was just musing on Allen's question and speculating into the seller's quote. I was told long ago that you can ask for anything as long as you're willing/ready to hear "No." for the answer. I think he's way above the used market value based on the asking prices seen here in the classifieds...just my two cents.

From the discussion thread on Banjo Hangout. Looks like it'd be a fun one to pick on

Looks like a beauty, but $27 large? Uh, no.
Even the one I owned that's still at Shoenbergs is pretty high! An 82 close to Ronnie McCoury's Gil in sound! But I paid a ton less for what they want but if ya want that Ronnie sound go for it, I liked it but the neck was pretty big for me anyway that's why it went bye, bye!
I looked at the video a bit more closely and noticed some bubbling? in the finish. See 01:12. Optical illusion maybe, or a true finish issue.
The Gilchrist for sale in post #1 is not the same one Andy is playing in the video via post #7
