daguitaristz - 2012-12-27 2:52 PM  What are they worth?

2-3k 

All the ones I know of, have landed in the hands of folks that want to keep them.

With regular Ovation mandos going for about 600-800 I would think a book mando would top out at about 1500.

but I guess if nobody is selling one they are priceless.

I'd sell one of the Book Mandos and pick up this one...

Custom built by Bill Kaman himself in 2006.
I thought Bill was selling gas in 2006.

Location: Phoenix AZ		Having owned a regular MM68 and the Book MM68LTD at the same time I can tell you there is NO difference in the two other than what your eyes see. If the bling of the book mando and the rarity excite your wallet then it's a great little piece to own. But sonically you could never tell the two apart.

Unquestionably the go-to plugged in mando is an Ovation or Adamas (yes there are a few), but to me they don't sound or feel quite like a traditional mandolin. Not that I'm any kind of expert or player by any stretch. Not better or worse, just different. I guess in a similar way that Ovation guitars sound different than wooden guitars.

That bearclaw one was nice. I remember playing it at The Frisky Mermaid on some song called "Mauvais Beal". Don't remember much else about that night ...

Location: Boise, Idaho		Duh. I just realized this thread was talking about mandolins and the other was talking about mandocellos. Too much eggnog.
