Blonde Epiphone F with pickup.
Saw this at Music Emporium (Bellmore, NY) yesterday for $499 and was impressed. It appears to be a laminate back and sides, which would explain the low price. The electronics look interesting. I thought it sounded good.

Somebody here bought one of these a few years back but I can't remember who it was.

Hmmmm ... I'm wondering why there were so many at the used price.
I love hanging out with mandolin nerds . . . . . Thanks peeps ...

They don't really sound 'acoustic' but are not too bad as a magnetic pickup with the correct strings.

Well, six. From the descriptions they all seem to be examples that the factory deemed seconds due to finish flaws. (Can't tell about the $475 one, description of that is pretty minimal.)Originally Posted by UsuallyPickin
