Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | You’d never know by just looking, but the serial number on this one (497275) dates this mandolin to 1995. But I’m telling you folks, this little beauty looks BRAND NEW! I cannot find a mark on her! Her neck is perfect; her finish is flawless, even the knob on the OP-24 pre-amp looks new. I can’t help but wonder if this ever got played at all! So here she is, a beauty in perfect condition. Anyway, you all know the basics: USA made, solid spruce top, cherry-cherry burst finish, 5-piece neck, ebony fretboard, walnut bridge, hard-shell case, ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE CONDITION! I’M ASKING $650 OBO shipped in the continental US. Check about shipping if you live overseas. (I think this might even make within the postal restrictions for Australia, just in case you folks down under want to try something a little different.) It comes with its hard-shell case also in fantastic condition other than a couple of light scuffs. The interior is perfect. I’ll even put a nice, new set of Adamas ball-end mandolin strings on it before I ship it.
Folks, this thing plays like butter and rings like a bell. It's everything you'd expect from New Hartford and built like a little, cherry-burst tank! Seriously, it would be nearly impossible to find a used one in this condition, and you certainly won't find a better mandolin for this kind of money anywhere. As always, let me know what you think. And you can even take added comfort that you are helping to pay off my Adamas u681t!

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | Well folks this economy is starting to squeeze a little. No hits on eBay at all so far, though it's still early. I'd much rather make someone a good deal here than get sacked and pillaged over there. No one here wants to make an offer? You might be pleasantly surprised. ;) | |

This is the first time I've started a for sale thread and sold the instrument without a single response. Go figure. :cool: | |
