    Re: Kentucky km-200s value

    My experience is the people at Saga are very knowledgeable and very helpful. Those Japan-built Kentucky mandolins are considered to be superior to most other budget mandolins.

    Re: Guitar Center Visit

    I think the negativity you detect is directed entirely at GC and not at you. They are a large chain who cater primarily to youngsters wanting to get a guitar for shredding and probably do their...

    Re: "Inside Llewylyn Davis"--sneak review

    Positively 4th Street is the best book I've read about this early folk era. Chronicles, the next best book about the era is a good read, but pretty non-linear and definitely weird.

    Re: Eastman E20D guitar, rosewood back and sides.

    Baby I'm amazed at the quality for the price of all Eastman instruments. I recently picked up a nearly pristine E20P for $700.00 and can't get over the sound and playability.

    Re: What is the point behind MAS?
