Made in Catania, Sicily, for export (that's why it is stamped on the soundboard). Stamp is faded, but it reads "L. Genovesi, Catania." After WWII Catania became a major production center for...

A Loar signed Gibson F5 was stolen over a year ago and has yet to be recovered.

Yeah, what Scott said. Yikes.

Was this dated?

Most major universities and many smaller ones had mandolin clubs during the Golden Age of the Mandolin. Gibson did its best to take over that market after the company was...

But ... but ... A7sus/G is the easiest chord to play!

It's standard procedure only for people who lack imagination.

Mandolin pops up from time to time on "worship" recordings that definitely aren't bluegrass, so the excuse they've given you is crap....

A dark Army-Navy in a photo that's a little blurry: perfect!

I met Mr. Monroe and he signed a Wintergrass program for me. I was polite and deferential and he seemed entirely approachable. Perhaps I caught him on a good day.

No, it's not a Lyon & Healy case.

It could be a Geib case, but there were a couple of other case makers at the time doing similar things.

Might have been built for a Dobro mandolin.

Nice work on this one. I am not sure it's worth $4K given the replacement parts, but it sure looks beautiful!

No, 11079 is a 1917 FON accoring to Spann.

Photos will help.

I saw the auction listing for that, but was too chicken to bid on it. Let us know if you get it strung up and playing.

I don't think Jonathan puts serial numbers on his instruments (unless maybe there's something marked inside the electronics cover plate). Each Mann comes with a card that has the specs on it, but if...

No.

NO.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

NOT THE BANJO!

The price tag made me think it was the Japan seller with jacked-up mandolin prices, but no, this one's right here in the USA.

Symmetrical, low-SN A with cracked headplate and missing tailpiece...

Fender custom shop confirmed that my case was made by G&G.

I'm of course familiar with the stock cases mentioned by Bob & Vern. They still turn up from time to time. Vern's correct in thinking...

No doubt there was a period when both M&W and Geib cases were available. I presume the M&Ws were a few bucks cheaper. Maybe the music store offered the buyer a choice of cases and the buyer decided...

I was surprised as anything to find this new, Fender-branded tweed electric mandolin case with a MandoStrat I recently picked up. Anyone seen anything like it? Custom job? I could use more of them. ...

You're probably going to want to go even lighter, but first you should have it checked out by a competent luthier who can tell you if it needs anything (and maybe restore the inlays for you).

Great tune!

Well, what a long, strange trip.

I received a shipping notice and Postal Service tracking number on Sunday night, which cheered me up considerably. The box arrived on Wednesday and certainly...

Bidding already over $5K. Pretty beat up and the tuners are missing.

I still have hope that I'm just dealing with a noob and not a scammer. I am not at all worried about getting the money back from PayPal if things go south. All communication has been through eBay...
