Members boxorox Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 Good choice. More people should consider these. The simplicity of the old Gibson 'Army-Navy" design allows for better grades of wood without the cost of working them. I've found them to be far better mandos in terms of tone and volume than the A-50 copies in the same price range. You'll like it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Apple Slim Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 +1. Assuming the workmanship & playability is acceptable, Army-Navy Style mandos are really good bang for the buck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted December 1, 2008 Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 Sweeet! Congrats on your new mando. I too bought a cheap all laminated one and I love it! I have already managed to pick out by ear a dozen or so xmas tunes...I am having trouble with chord changes but it's coming. Once I get good enough to actually play the thing in public I might look for an upgrade...possibly an acoustic/electric one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jimmy Chaos Posted December 1, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 1, 2008 It'll be interesting... recently I've been trying a more 'folky' direction with my own music. (I'm a huge Decemberists fan). I just can't wait for it to arrive now. It's not a top-of-the range Mandolin, but it is solid spruce top, and It'll suit my needs, which are mainly just home & studio at the moment. I was charmed by the simplicity of the Army Navy style, much better looking than the 'A' shape Mandolin I used to have. I'll post some pics when it arrives.
