I never missed one of their shows, they spoke to me on so many levels. The Summer shows hosted by Glen Campbell were incredible as well. John Hartford was a regular and Mason Williams made up songs...

Could not have wound up in better hands

Similar to the Mr. Sun version with Joe K. playing one of the most beautiful mandolin solos I've ever heard.

Wonderfully played and a spot-on description of Forrest. Thanks

I agree with rcc56, I think '30s. I have a '40 similar to yours but has round holes where yours has the "commas". That's a really nice one, bet it sounds as good as it looks

Not too surprised, this has to be the friendliest, most thoughtful forum in existence. Many thanks to Scott and all the mandonerds that make it so.

I never met Phil but always enjoyed his posts here. He will be missed by many for many reasons. R I P Phil

That's a good looking Stradolin, definitely solid top. Fretboard looks great, did you polish the frets ? It should sound great once you string it up. Congrats !!

Looks like the original, adjustable bridge that has indeed been glued together which would explain the low action. Nice looking mandolin, right Eric the matching pickguard and tailpiece cover are a...

Fantastic, thanks Mark.

Gateway Drug to MAS, well said Kevin.

Wow Sue, That is a really nice Stradolin! Like what Jake had to say about it's sound. I took a '40 to Randy Wood a while back and he had the same reaction. Thanks for the post.

This is Blossom. As I don't play well, she prefers to lie on the mandolin.

Not me, I looked at it and think it was a deal for under $ 150 shipped.

Saw him several times in Athens, Ga. late '70s , early '80s. One night in the middle of his show, just him and his guitar, he abruptly quit playing, stood up and sat an old, cheap record player on...

Saw this young man last night, blew me hat in the creek !

Come on up to Asheville, you could play at a different brewery every day for a month and still miss a few. Nice cover of a great song, thanks.

Send it to Randy Wood, he did some work on one of my old Stradolins last year and was very impressed with how it sounded after he worked his magic on it.

Unless the tailpiece cover fits extremely well, if it has one, remove it and wrap it separately. I had a mando badly scratched in shipping by a loose cover.

Thile scares me, so does Nino Schurter, but that don't keep me from riding my mountain bike 3 or 4 times a week and trying to play mandolin @ 72. So welcome back, get that mandolin and embrace it.

Anxious to hear how you get on with it, Jim. I posted my experience on the other, later thread about these

ISIS Music Hall in W A'ville has a bluegrass jam every Tue. night. Jack of the Wood downtown A'ville has a bg and old time jam every week. Pisgah Brewing in Black Mtn. has live music almost every...

The burning question, how does it sound ?

Nice lookin' Strad ! I bought one on eBay a few months ago that had the same bridge and tuners, but didn't they come with an adjustable bridge for the most part ?

These guys are gaining popularity very quickly here. The mandolin player, Josh Carter does a lot of work at the Boys and Girls Club in Brevard teaching music to the kids. Cool bunch of young folks...
