New Mandolin Day!
I'm playing guitar/mandolin about 50/50 these days, mostly bluegrass. Been wanting to upgrade for a while. Proud owner of a new Gibson F9. Not fancy but its got the pop! Inspiring instrument!

What did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking? My brother was looking at lots of Gibson F mandos and he was considering the F9, but we couldn't find any for sale.
He ended up with a 1912 F2 to match my Style R harp guitar, but there was no truss rod and the neck was relieved severely. So we took the fretboard off and built a new one with ebony after routing a channel for carbon fiber stiffening rod in the neck. Now it plays like brand new.

Very nice. I dont play mine much, but I can appreciate the beauty of good craftsmanship. That is a very pretty mandolin. I am not surprised by the money that vintage Loar's get.
