    Default In case you need....some new socks.

    Stumbled across this ad. With this mandolin purchase, you can get yourself some free dress socks. Just thought you all should know in case you were in the market for some new socks.

    The inventory is always in some flux, but that's part of the fun.

    I'm holding out for the fishnet stockings.

    You never see socks as an extra with a banjo sale...

    Maybe the socks are tri-cone, with that neat woven-chrome grill on the sides. Whoa! Now I gotta go lookin' for one o' them "fishnet" guitars.

    You have to pay extra for the curves at the heel, and they don't wear any better.

    Free socks with a mandolin? I'm always looking for a good deal but I don't think a free pair of socks will influence my (or anyone else's) decision to purchase a mandolin.

    I'd better toe the line and buy it: although my wife might call me a heel, my playing could use more sole.

    This is ridiculous. Those Gold Tone socks set up by Paul Beard sound just as good.

    Indispensable for success.
    If, for instance, you want a million hits on youtube, it's just not enough to be good at playing - a pair of socks is exactly what you need...
