Just noticed, the serial number (9043)is just two away from mine (9041). Kinda cool.

I got an Ameritage case for my old F-2. It's built like a tank and weighs about as much. Great case though. Very classy looking.

The Schmergel Devastator has hands down the most blindingly beautiful headstock inlay. It’s simply too brilliant to post photos without risk of retinal damage.

Seven.

Gibson A-4
Gibson F-2
Flatiron Festival (Nashville made)

Wait, that's six.

Yes.

I know you didn't ask, so apologies in advance if I'm out of line. A good friend bought a new Eastman 305 not far from the Kentucky 150 price point. It's a great looking and very good sounding...

Best of luck to you. Nashville is a great place to look for mandolins.

One at Morgan music in lebanon MO.

Blue chip tpr 50.

Very talented young lady, that Sierra.

The marks you leave on it is what makes it your's.

Take it where you can get it.

Odd question, but I'm with you. The D course gets the most attention on my mandolin.

At least some of the images in the mandolin archives show an inlay between the rings around the oval hole on A-2Z's. I don't know if they all did. Yes it would change the value. A-2Z's generally...

A-2? Very nice. No reason I can see to think that's not the original case.

Could be a black face A-2Z.

Clearly it's a Regal.

Whiskey before breakfast. Some times shove the pig's foot a little further into the fire just because I like saying the title.

Welcome Fab and you too Bob.

It's a beauty. Think I'll get my F-2 out and pick a while. Enjoy yours.

Was watching television, late at night when the quality stuff is on. The movie was Sharknado: the 4th awakens. During one of the storms suddenly I spied a cameo by super musician Paul Schaffer. He...

That'd be my guess. I couldn't talk my son into going to KU.

I'm pretty sure I'm never going to be as good as I want to be. The older I get, the more ok I am with that. I still get a kick out of learning a new fiddle tune every once in a while though.

No, but when you open the case, you can catch a whiff of Parmesan and oregano.

I'd spend $50 on it. It even has a cool hard shell case. Actually I'd probably go as much as a couple hundred, especially if was something I really wanted.
