    A unique, one of a kind Gilchrist.
    Figured since I was taking photos I'd add them to the thread.

    Oh man, where's that been hiding? That is one class act! That requires several takes to digest...

    [QUOTE=journeybear;834888]Dang! I thought you were talking about Sharon Gilchrist! Oh well ...

    This is one way to tell for sure that mandolinists are not normal!

    Ahem!

    Good. I thought I was the only one hoping it was a picture of Sharon.

    Had the pleasure of having her as an instructor at Kaufman's Kamp last summer and her good looks are matched by her incredible playing skills, teaching skills, and genuinely nice personality.

    She played some amazing things on stage on her mandolin, but I remember her most by the phenomenal job she did backing others up on bass. Wow!

    It is hard times we're living in Glassweb.....tough for everyone, especially artists.
    I'd much rather be selling my art than my treasures. These are both GREAT mandolins.

    Those pictures spruce posted of that F4 Gil has really got me. I keep finding myself coming back to look. The back wood on that instrument is just right. The whole presentation, including the scruffed up tail piece, has just got it. How much did you say....
