Re: CL find: Galveston (I know...) Blonde... Should I go for it?
Or, alternatively, you could establish "John's Home For Acoustically-Challenged Mandolins." You have a beginner's level mandolin already. Forty-five bucks isn't a lot, but why actually do you need another beginner's level instrument?
Were I in your position, I'd save the $45 toward a $4-600 mandolin, keep the Trinity River as a "beater" and a med-school cadaver on which to practice surgery, and forego purchasing another assemblage of Asian plywood.
On the other hand, you can spend $45 on an evening's beer and pizza. You're not risking much, but I don't see the Galveston as an upgrade over what you've got.
