Wait and see is often a good strategy.
The last A model I had was a eBay A-0 snakehead salvage special and probably in the worst condition of any instrument I've ever purchased. The headstock...
I’ve just acquired a very nice, almost pristine 1921 A-4. it sounds exactly like you would expect a nice old Gibson A model to sound. The frets are in good condition, but they’re the original tiny...
I suffer from flashy flame syndrome. I play a 2004 Collings MT which is a perfectly fine but modest looking instrument. Its showing some wear and tear from 12 years of daily play. It has a satin...
I am a professional musician, at the small festival and coffeehouse level. Ten years ago, after learning on a Teens beater Gibson A for 5 or 5 years, I purchased a Collings MT for $1650. Since then,...
Butch was a great player and a great teacher. I feel that I would have never gotten off the ground without his 30 Fiddle Tunes for the Mandolin, which I spent dozens if not hundreds of hours with....

Talk about meeting your maker!
Nice looking instrument--I am sure it plays great.
I think Ricky Skaggs is one of the best players around, and by far, the best showman performing in BG today. He always has a great band, and he can actually sing and write a good song. Love his...
I have a teens Gibson A-0. It is uglier than sin, with a long crack down the top, worn finish and severe sinking on the bass side of the bridge. Consequently, the bridge is all the way up and the...
I have never had a problem carrying my mandolin on board, even in a oversized Featherlight case. I keep it in tune.
My guitar is another problem, though I can usually get it on. I used to be more...
