Re: Mandobird revisited
Yeah, I had one of the gold sparkly ones also. It was certainly one of the coolest looking mandolins I ever owned, but I could never get a decent tone out of it. I didn't think it was worth investing in new pickups in it, so I moved it along to a new owner. Sometimes I wished I would've kept it- but I say that about just about every mandolin that I've moved along to a new owner. Like they say- you can't keep them all.
