Snakehead on eBay

Already at $1500 with over a day left to go despite a hairline top crack and a busted bridge: http://www.ebay.com/itm/200997812425

The snakes and F2/4's have been getting quite respectable dollars lately.

Looks like a little bit of separation of the back a the tail end or maybe a poorly done repair. Still at $1500(16hrs to go) which is pretty much in line with what snakeheads seem to go for. A paddlehead like that you would be lucky to get half that.

That's no ordinary Gibson, it's a Gibson "Madolin!"

The "strad" of "madolins"

I like this part,

" I don't know too much about mandolins but if it was to be restored I think this would be a great candidate."

Mandolins holding public office. Maybe he's on to something.

You would think that the seller would at least dust it off a bit. Must be fresh from the attic. My favorite pic is this one. Yikes!

At least the seller is upfront on condition:

I would consider in fair to good condition. Cracked adjustable bridge. Seems that back is slightly seperating in a section. looks like a very fine crack on top and back. small scratches and dings.
