You could be the Paul Mccartney of the Jam!

That's a pretty little thing. I wonder how it sounds.
That bridge looks too big for it, actually.

Not far from me, but not really interested (I have enough mandolins at present.)

You know you need it, Don.

No, no. Paul McCartney was in the Beatles! Paul Weller was in the Jam!

Strange thing. I would have said that it was of the Vietnamese/Taiwanese family of stringed instruments but those tuners are not from there.

If I were in hands-on-testing distance, I'd be all over it for $50. Jeez, ya spend more than that on "family night" at the movies, or on a ball game. Weird but cool.

Me too. I'm sure that $50 is just their starting price. That would be a great conversation piece for the $40 you could probably get it for. Who knows what it sounds like, but it would be worth it to find out for that little.
Re: Rare 4 point, plus 15 or20 on the headstock
I agree with the probable Vietnamese origin. I bought a very similar one but with a LOT more bling. Sadly, it was not even worth the cheap price I paid.
It ain't gotta be perfect, as long as it's perfect enough!

My favorite part is the backwards f holes. That just puts icing on the cake!
