I wouldn't mind the camo mando but you can keep the Sarah Palin pic. Inhale deeply - does this whole posting reek of APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!
My wife and I were just talking about a camping trip last night, and about whether I should take a mando or not.
I sent a link to her email at work.
The response ten minutes later ... "I suppose you want one." (Impatient tone of voice implied).
I have one on order that has a collapsable fishing rod in it. The tuners convert to a reel and it is strung with one continuous string that can be removed and used for the line. I guess I'll have to buy my own hooks.
Yes, if you remove the truss rod cover and extended an 8' section of bamboo ya could do some serious fly-casting with an A model w/o missing a note.

I was suspicious with the Alaskan gold dust, the Palin photo package, and Peter's appointment to Cabela's staff, but, damn, I wanted the camo mando!!!

I'm a big fan of Cabela's, and got pretty excited - until I remembered today is more than my son-in-law's birthday. Thought I could get a camo mandolin to go along with a camo guitar from Martin.
Being a part time resident of the Northeast Kingdom of VT, and having had the pleasure of speaking with Peter, I did not see him aligning whatsoever with this huge hunting and outdoors company but you had me going ......the Sarah Palin touch got me scratching my head a bit but still fell for this until I read the comments......I must be dense today........time to get off this laptop and back on the mandolin/David
Vermont Fall Foliage?? that ain't no part of nothin' it's gotta be Mossy Oak !!! or is that only on the F models?

April Fools... Oh! Geez... I found myself wondering it Bass Pro Shops would be picking up the Composite Acoustics line of Carbon Fiber guitars.

I own a company that builds CF kayaks and canoes so am very familiar with the material and processes. I can't imagine why anyone would buy a CF mandolin. It would sound like #### and probably have terrible balance. With junk like this being peddled, I feel confident that my custom built mandolins will be even more appreciated by those who love to play and appreciate the beauty of the instruments.

You need to get out more Lefty, truthfully the Peter Mix mandolins sound damn good. You'll have to paste this link in your browser as BB code doesn't work in this section.

There are sound clips on the site. They're excellent high end instruments.
Any of you die hard hunters who really want a mossy oak or camo Mix could likely get it. Peter made one with cool red maple leaves that, if I'm not mistaken, Eddie Sheehy has or had. No need for autographed posters or gold dust inlay. I would be happy to own the Kimble Mix collaboration.

I watched an episode of American Chopper that showed camo patterns being applied to bike parts via a liquid bath and was amazed. I would love to have a mando in Mossy Oak. When I come in from the woods during hunting season, I can grab my mando and just let it disappear in my lap while picking out a few tunes. But seriously, a mando in Army ACU or Air Force ABU camo would be an awesome tribute to our servicemembers.
I want one. I knew it was a hoax right off in fact I came looking for this year's A/F joke. I still want one.
I had just finished telling my wife that no one had April fooled me today, when I read this line. I had forwarded that 'news' item to my friends of all persuasions. The package was so appealing, with the Turkey jacket, Palin autograph, and camo F-mandolin. I was bemused that an A model was pictured in conflict with the text. It's too bad we can't get the CD of fishing music even with $5,000.---Lou
It is no joke. I have used my F4 Mad for a grill on back country trips. You need to place a sterno can in the oval hole and use the strings for the grill. Large fish are a problem but the small brookies are oh so right. This may be the intent of Cabela's recent prurchase. Doug Campbell in Vermont
Is that woven fabric on the the "carbon fiber" background on the "cabelas" headstock? Doesn't look like carbon to me, more like a picture of a shirt or something.
Yes the carbon fiber is actually a "cloth" and epoxy mix.
