Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent		I came about half an inch from pulling the trigger on a new MM-68 mandolin yesterday. It looked like a great price for something new, with a warranty, etc. Here\'s the eBay ad.

For once (Yeah....I know it's rare.), common sense told me to sleep on it, and I actually listened.

Lo and behold! Another one shows up today!

What are the odds?

Now that I'm suspicious, I scroll down through the ad a little more carefully. The thing is an MM68AX-5.

That's right!

Capital "A"

Capital "X"

Since when are MM-68 Mandos IMPORTS?!

Disillusionment has finally begun to set in 'round the ol' Patchworks. :(

Happened the same time the Legends, Custom Legends, and Custom Elites became imports.

Which is why they're making them over there now. They've found the price point where people will buy ... and to get there they have to make them in Asia.

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066		Kinda deceptive of the seller to list it as a MM68-5 in big bold letters for the auction title and then change it to MM68AX-5 in the small print.
They obviously knew what they were doing.

I looked that up on the Ovation site. I saw a 30th anniversary mandolin? It was all dressed up! Never heard of that model before. Is that made in USA? Currently in production?

Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent		You are thinking of the "Book" mandolin. Wonderful instrument! They were only made around '96 for Ovation's 30 Anniversary along with various other instruments all done up with the same appointments.

That would really be a low blow.
