I'm clearing out some old guitars to buy a mandocello. But I can't find a reliable price guide. My ebayUK login won't let me search completed deals on ebayUSA.
The only current one is going for $2400 (mint but used) when a new one lists at $2599. Does this mean that because they are a special order there is no discounting of new ones? What price do they normally go for used?

Hmmm now what combinations of strings would we use to get that string set Bill? Ideas on guages?

I really like that octive idea. Wonder what those guages are?

IMO, makes for a much more versatile and fun instrument.

Location: Phoenix AZ		Damn you learn something new everyday. All these years I thought that stickng up your middle finger meant ... ah, never mind. I guess I was wrong.

I propose we ditch the "blues name" BS and we all take on gang names. I'll go first. From now on please refer to me only as "T-Dog"

Dave ... ooops, I mean ... T-Dog
