Been wanting a good A model to supplement my main Duff F (#200 - super sweet!). Kimbles, Duffs, were of primary interest and I had not seen any used for a while so I thought I would look at Reverb just on the off chance. I found the following blonde Kimble from 2008 #143 - Original owner who states he wasnt really a mandolin player and estimated it had only a few hours on it. He said it was mint and he wasnt kidding - not a nick on it and I had to polish the frets because they were so tarnished. The strings had to be years old - possibly 12! So after cleaning up the fretboard, new strings, some triflow on the Waverlies it is like brand new. It will get played it quite a bit over the next few days. The mint calton case is well, mint. Great sounding mando- with a great feeling neck. No wonder not many used show up.
