Same here. What surprised me the most was how many that passed away that I missed. Spencer Davis among them. A favorite of mine from the early days of the "British Invasion." Gave a teenaged kid...

My Mandolin Instructor Ryan Rogers, of the Dirty Grass Players, loves his Girouard. He also speaks highly of both Max and Lauri and the help and service he's received from them.

Good to hear the mandolin is back with the rightful owner. I just purchased (legally) Hinde MF-7. I can honestly say, as I've already told Steve Hinde, that it is far and away the loudest, clearest,...

Thanks for all the information. My friend decided to pass, right after he contacted a builder he knows. The builder told him to run as fast and as far away as he could from the '74 F5. He said that...

Interesting. And both mandolins, (one for sale in Virginia and the other in Alaska, I believe) are identical in that respect. I didn't note the locating pins until you mentioned it. Then again I...

I am the same way. I think it also filters out the serious buyers from the rest of the crowd.

Compared to this one, in price, it is a bargain. ...

Yes. That is it. He saw it at the add at the store web site. Which the "Additional Information" link takes you to. There are some pictures there. But yes. That is it.

A friend of mine sent me a text on a really nice deal he saw on a 1974 Gibson F-5. He asked me, "Is this to good to be true or am I missing something?"
I told him I wasn't certain. I did tell him...

Agreed, which is why I prefer phone calls at Craigslist. Honestly, the only interested or serious buyers I ever run across call me.

And even those texts are sent as impersonally as possible. Generally, the text you may have sent to a friend will be returned, encircled in quotation marks (" "), and preceded by the words, Liked,...

Well, I misspoke much too quickly. I sold two, high dollar mandolins, A Gibson F5G Custom and a Collings MF, on Craigslist in about 30 days time or so. Nothing like that ever happened to me in the...

Never been to Randy's though I've been in the area numerous times. Savannah, Saint Simons, Jekyll, etal, sure is a beautiful area.

Though you said you'd likely not use it, those K&K pickups are pretty dependable. And when installed internally as your's appears to be, are unobtrusive. Most of the time those are $150.00 installed,...

Yes. $1250.00 US would have been okay with me if I bought it. That's very good.

Looks like a Craigslist add or something similar. Appears that it's being sold by an individual not a shop.

I recall those El Toros NEW selling for around $1900.00 at Reverb. Bradford and Company in Kansas City was handling them. Based on that, as a New price, I wouldn't pay more than $1250.00 used....

Now that is a valid question. Unfortunately, I am unfamiliar with these photo hosting sites you speak of. I'm not exactly technologically checked out, so to speak. Thanks.

That's the odd thing about this with me. I have two phone numbers listed. The only call I have received was from an actual interested buyer who was ready to purchase until his wife intervened. I have...

I'm comfortable with email communiques thru the Mandolin Cafe Classifieds. It's the only means of communication. My experience is that Cafe buyers or perspective buyers are straightforward, honest...

Somehow at 22 grand I don't even notice the scroll.

Man. Do I ever understand. I've been considering selling my two best, of three mandolins, because I just don't play enough anymore where I feel I deserve two, top quality instruments. I know how you...

Saw this on Amazon Prime. Intend to watch it.
...

I purchased a copy of the Before the Dead CD. I enjoyed it. A friend that was a real Dead Head saw it and flipped. I gave it to her.
