    Sorry, I feel that it kinda cheapens a really cool mandolin, I don't think I'll will rush to get one with Cabela's on the headstock.

    So this is it for this special today. Nice story!

    As an hindsight, power to people like Peter Mix, Pete Langdell, Will Kimble etc.

    I still dream about the Monroe movie. I would love to see Danny DeVito as Chubby Wise.

    Very pleased with this development. There is a Cabelas just over the river from my home in CT. I can paddle my carbon fiber kayak to purchase my carbon fiber mandolin. Or maybe I'll just put strings on my kayak and call it a mandocello. Yeah that's what I''ll do. Thanks for the idea. Corny

    Got me too. The Sarah Palin 8x10 was a nice touch. Hilarious.

    I'm looking forward to the Blaze Orange "Pumpkin Top" model due this fall with a deer antler nut and bridge saddle.

    Nice one.

    If this were true, who would buy a camo mandolin? If you take it camping and set it down, it'd take you forever to find it!

    The dig at Sarah Palin was unnecessary and not in keeping with the Cafe's "no politics" policy. I was shut down once for mentioning Mitt Romney in a non-political context....just for typing his name in a forum post.

    I didn't quite see a "dig" at Sarah. It was the one thing that tipped me off to the ruse. That and the Alaskan Select Gold Dust inlay.
