I was mainly thinking about the fact that the green version was supposed to be a Sweetwater exclusive, and once they sold out there would be no more. I'm really not upset about the cheaper price--if I hadn't bought mine when I did I'm sure I would have missed out completely--I wouldn't have been...

So Saturday I was checking out the $949.00 X 350 and 175, hadn't seen that the green Starfire III had an earlier post about it's price drop. Thought I'd check and sure enough there were 5 at that price. While I was doing my best to talk myself out of one, I looked into the time payment plans as...

So this arrived today. Thanks to someone spotting the Gbase ad and posting it on the Michael Messer Forum-- It's a 1928 Style 2 National single cone mandolin. 50 years ago I found a tricone Style 1 #144. This is #160, and after a handful of the tricone versions they realized a single cone would...

For me, the James Gang and Blue Cheer. Chuck and I saw Blue Cheer back in 2006 and they sounded just like they did in '67.
