Default What a beauty - mando!

Opened up the new MF catalog this morning, and there on the first pages, this Gibson:

The webpage doesn't do it justice compared to the printed catalog. And less than $20K!

Let's admire a photo or two, shall we?




Of the three, I kind of like the natural finish one best, myself.

We all need to get a couple of these: one for the house, one for the car for when we're stuck in traffic jams...

Little over the top for me. I would take the F-5L Fern over any of these.

Sometimes I gawk at the holdings over at Carter Vintage Instruments.

Want Bill Monroe's fretboard? $75,000.

OH sheesh! I think, for that price, I'll stick with my '35 A-00!
