Members gardo Posted November 10, 2016 Members Share Posted November 10, 2016 It's not a guitar and it's not electric but it is Ibanez. I saw this in a music store and it really grabbed my interest Ibanez M522S F-style They go for about $300. Anyone familiar with them?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thatsbunk Posted November 10, 2016 Members Share Posted November 10, 2016 Seems like a good deal for an F style mandolin & solid top too.Just a warning though... MAS can be as addictive as GAS. I picked up my first mandolin about 3 years ago (a Gretsch G9320) & am looking to upgrade to a nicer instrument. They get expensive quick!

Members Mikeo Posted November 10, 2016 Members Share Posted November 10, 2016 I have only owned 2 mandolins in my life. I still have them both. One is an A model Flatiron , built in Bozeman that has been with me for like 25 years. The other a Gibson F5G built on May 13th of 2015. The Flatiron is really nice, the Gibson sound amazing, but I am having it evaluated in a bit for some issues with the top. If and when I need to amplify either I have a LR baggs M radius pick and there Venue system. It's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gardo Posted January 4, 2017 Author Members Share Posted January 4, 2017 Well my wife gave me this for Christmas. I haven't had much time to play it but had a lot of fun with Turkey In The Straw It looks great and sounds pretty good to me. It really is fun to pick and for under $300 it's a bargin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GAS Man Posted January 6, 2017 Members Share Posted January 6, 2017 Looks cool. Pretty much every time I hear this song, I think I should pick up the Mandolin. [video=youtube;xwtdhWltSIg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GAS Man Posted January 6, 2017 Members Share Posted January 6, 2017 I didn't realize how many good songs use a mandolin Yeah, whether it's the "sprinklings" of mandolin that might be used in popular music, or full on Bill Monroe blue grass, I've liked the sound of a Mandolin; it's just that I feel I'll always be a bit of a struggling student of 6-string electric guitar to afford splitting my limited talents. I've gotten a couple Ukuleles in recent years, which were easy enough to learn to play in a rudimentary fashion, so sometimes I wonder if I could do the same with a mandolin, i.e. get one of reasonably good acoustic properties and then just learn enough for a few catchy bits like that REM song. Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
