Couple of NOS cases at Intermountain for $65.

How are you enjoying the new mando? I saw it when it was listed at Gruhns. A real looker! :)
Thanks Jim. I'm familiar with this great resource :) I have a memory that a forum member here was making replacement case handles in the old style. Just can't find the posts. Was a few years ago...
...
Is there a source for teen/20s style case hadle replacements.
I know there have been some available in the past. Anything currently out there?
Thanks
Guess it's all relative. Would you pay $90 for the original pamphlet of a $10,000 instrument you own? Or $9 for a $1000 instrument you own?
I've certainly done the latter in my time.
Never...
Right :) The Ebay listing shows a "best offer accepted" so that'll be why it disappeared. Just opportunist of the Japan scammer to grab the auction photos and details.
This mandolin was literally sold the day before by a reputable US company. The text and photos from their ad were copied verbatim into the Japanese listing.
The Ebay listing was legit. Cornerstone Music. That's their carpet in the photos - matches all their other listings and actual shop website listings.

Here's a link to the expired listing. Lots of red flags...

Hopefully for the buyer it's stable.
Agree with the above sentiments - the price tag could double in a worse-case scenario.
Possibly a luthier bought it. Only costing their time to get it up...
You don't see many for this price.
Playable...

Made a wee video showing off the D'Addario XS strings after 21 months on my F4.
They really do still sound great to my ear. They are dulling a little around the picking region, but far better...
Rare and amazing! But just looks darn wrong to me.
I'll stick to my regular F4s and 5s thanks :)
The headstock overlays were ebony in this era. This one has a very distinctive striped ebony!
Maybe the case. It just seems strange to me that someone would take photos of their computer screen rather than just downloading the photos and posting them. Or just taking photos of the instrument?...
Here's the original listing that the photos are taken of. I would say this is 100% a scam:...

I was surprised to find on their website, the shop's only been in business for 10 years.
Feels like they've been around forever. I guess they have in one way or another, but the shop is only 10...
Can be done, but you won't find a 40 if you're making up a medium set, or a 34 if you're trying to replicate their light gauge set. They do a 35, so that would work fine for a light gauge set. For...
I noticed this on the 6-string acoustic set of XS I bought. Didn't like them compared to my usual Elixir set. The XS mandos went on my F4 pretty soon after I got it, so I didn't really have a prior...
Just checking in - I've had these XS strings on my F4 for 15 months and they still look and sound great.
I play at home only, around 20 mins a day. No audible dulling. No intonation issues.

If you don't like people's opinions on this, just scroll past them ;)
Okay, I had an F4 shipped internationally last year. Took three months to get the CITES paperwork.
All about the pearl - nothing wrong with pearl. The CITES stuff was to PROVE IT WASN'T WHITE...
May just be better to wait until one of the big shops like Elderly have on in stock? If you let these shops know, they can contact you if they get one in stock. Maybe one will even turn up closer to...
I purchased a mandolin internationally from Carters last year. They took care of the necessary CITES paperwork.
It took a few months I have to admit, and cost around $200, but arrived safe and...
