Dear gretschbigsby,
I have one of these to match my Gibson L-00 (Gibson blues guitar that has the exact same color tone. Actually, I did not buy it for that reason, but hey they look great together.) I love my Kalamazoo oval hole mandolin and the one you linked to is in much better shape. I'm sure that the price is greater than I recently paid for mine, but you do not have the crack on the back, the mac-daddy scratch on the front, and hopefully machines that turn smoothly. Even with these "problems", I pull mine out and play it pretty often. It's great for the fiddle/old time tunes, but have never had it up against a banjo. That said, it would probably do just fine.
Good luck.
