Ron McMillan - That's okay, I assumed it probably wasn't! A nice piece of mando history there!
Old Gus - I've seen that one, but got some PM response for a few other DMM's owned by cafe members that may be interested in selling. Thanks though!
I have no funds for a DMM, MM or even a varnished Fern but oh how I so want a varnish finished f-hole Gibson of some sort. Don't tell my lacquer finished F-12.

Whenever I see the virtues of varnish mentioned, I think of a 3-hour Catholic wedding I attended in an old NON-air conditioned church, of yeah, it was in August and must have been 100 degrees in there.....
Well, a combination of the weather plus my body heat reactivated the varnish on the pew gluing my polyester suit to the bench....when it was time to get up, I couldn't move! No way to be graceful at that point, just had to lean into it, as my suit fabric was pulled loose from the pew....of course, it was a light gray suit, now with brown patches on the back on the coat, seat of my pants and backs on my legs. What'dya gonna do?
NO MANDOLIN CONTENT
The point?
Boy do I miss that one.....
So, what did Jake Hobbs buy?

I would imagine a half million dollar offer would get you any mandolin on the planet. Alas, I will never test my theory.

There were no DMM’s made in 1999. It is possible someone had it distressed later, but the model was first introduced in 2004.
Have a Great Day!
