Maybe I'll edit this for real pictures of it instead of just ebay ones, but oh god, why are all of you so jealous of my awesome new mandolin?

I've already started to learn basic chords. G is 0023 (and easily movable with a bar), C is 0230 (again, bar it!), Em is 0223 (I bet you can bar that!) and F is 233(5) (bar that sumbitch!), D is 2002 (hey, I wonder if a bar works there!), and D7 is 2032 (not so much with the bar!)

First impressions: Oh my GOD IT IS SMALL. Smaller than I ever imagined. Luckily chords are pretty easy to pick up since it's the top four strings of a guitar upside down.

I've already got a pretty snazzy version of Twist and Shout worked out, as well as Pearl Jam's Porch

Any other mandolin nerds around?

Finally finished, shipped, and received. This is the mandolin that I started this entire thread because of, back in November or December.

5-string electric, Kent Armstrong humbuckers, push-pull pot for coil-tapping.

I just plugged in and played Larry Carlton's Kid Charlemagne solo (one of my favorites ever) and this thing is awesome. Nice clean, warm tone when not overdriven (something that's hard to achieve with an electric mandolin), and good and dirty when I put it through my SD-1.

It's the one on the right. The middle is my other e-mando, and the guitar on the left is for scale.

Placed on order last night...



Should be here Late July/Early August. It will be a long, long wait.

I, too, am a sucker for quilted maple.

A quilt top blue Les Paul has been my dream guitar since I can remember. A Gibson would be preferable, but an Epi is fine too. I'm not a full time professional musician, so this will do juuust fine. 2006 model. These are seller photos; it should be here within 2 weeks.





Another of the same model, I believe, with tail, tremolo, and pickguard. God I just love blue quilted.

She's my baby



One piece alder body, flamed maple neck, rosewood fretboard / headstock overlay, rosewood skunk strip. Only 4 pieces of wood on the whole guitar. The inlays are abalone shell and mother of pearl.

Fender custom shop pickups: 70's in the neck and middle, 50's in the bridge on a push / pull switch.



This one's an older picture, it has graphite string trees now:



And that's enough of that little hijack.

And since my other mandolin is the one that started the thread...

I just bought a USA Big Muff pedal and holy drat it's the best distortion pedal I've ever owned ever.

I bought it to replace my retarded Digitech Distortion Factory pedal. The Distortion Factory has a Big Muff setting, but it sounded like rear end compared to the real thing, now that I have something to compare it to.

Jaguars have a shorter scale than almost every single other Fender guitar. Most Fender guitars have a 25.5" scale length, whereas the Jaguar (and the Mustang) have a 24" scale length.

Yeah...I've wanted one since they came out, but the purple and silverburst were awful. Green ones just hit stores...so great the guitar center guy conversation:
'do you have green robot les pauls'
'no they aren't out'
'I see them on the web - pictures'
'that's people using a kit, they don't make them'
'doesn't look like a kit'
'they aren't making them, we're the only Gibson dealer ever and I know the guy that makes them with his own fingers and I called him, you don't know poo poo, and they aren't out.'
'well call me if you find one'
...
calls 2 hours later
'I have a silverburst one in arizona'
'thanks dude, I found a green one about 20 miles north, I'm buying it'
'what?!'

Hey, what's in the box... wait, this isn't TFR!


Oh hey, look at that, that looks just exactly like a keyless irish flute in blackwood & silver by Dave Copley!



Why yes, that's exactly what it is!



I really wish I had a better camera. It's a lovely flute.

This is his newest offering...



Although what you're seeing there is an electric mandolin, what I'm going to have him build for me is actually a baritone 4- or 5-string mandolin version of this, tuned GDAEB. Imagine the neck about 4.5" longer than this one, but otherwise identical (except for the stereo jack he's got installed beside the mono).

Now come the months of waiting and saving...

Just got here today, about a half hour ago:





Now for the agonizing wait until I can take it home and plug it in. Besides the obvious, I'd say the most unique feature of this guitar is how goddamn light it is- way less than my ash tele.

edit: Forgot to mention what exactly it is: Les Paul Standard Blonde Beauty!

Awesome little guitar. It's light, comfortable, and the neck feels great.

Look what came in the mail yesterday (pictures are from the guy who sold it to me since I don't have a decent camera)


Why its a PRS Custom 24 in Emerald Green 10 Top. I was long overdue for a guitar upgrade and this one is fabulous. I'm going to stop typing and get back to playing it now.

That's Rose, my favorite guitar. She started out as a Mexi Standard Tele when I got her (around 12 years ago). Since then, I've replaced everything but the neck and body - Seymore Duncan pickups, Sperzel locking tuners, Bigsby trem, graphite nut - I also fully shielded the cavities, wired in a 5 way switch, put in a coencentric tone control to control the pickups separately, and put on the flashy pickguard. And ever since I taught myself how to level, recrown, and buff frets, she's been the best feeling guitar I've ever picked up.

tl/dr: I really like my Telecaster.

Bought this on a whim today, its a ton of fun to play. Too bad I didn't read the tuning sheet before tuning it like an idiot and breaking the bottom string

What makes them special is that they're for a mandolin.

Got both of these in the past week. '65 Vintage Reissue Twin Reverb and a '94-'95 (based on the serial number) Japanese Fender Jaguar Special HH. The amp was a gift and the guitar I bought as a gift for myself, picked it up on craigslist for $350.

I've been kicking the idea of getting a Paul Beard Gold tone square neck resonator for the past week or so. They have amazing tone and the sound carries forever. My Johnson is real buzzy and it's a round neck but I have been playing it square neck style with less than stellar results. Some day I will learn normal guitar playing techniques and the Johnson will shine then but I really want to learn Bluegrass Dobro.

Mandocello!



The shop I'm buying this from is out of stock of this particular model so I have to wait.

Roctor posted:

I'm buying it from that very store!

http://www.themandolinstore.com/scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=93

I found their site looking for straps for my mandolin and thought they were cool, and then realized they were only an hour and a half drive from me (phx). When they get their next one in I'm going to drive up to play it before I buy, but I'd be fooling myself if I thought there was any way that I wasn't going to get it. Good practice, though, play before you buy.

You in AZ?
