Sweet, you want to buy my old Sears Sivlertone? J/k

i bet thats good sounding instrument. i love old instruments. as a matter of fact i really like old strings as well, the strings on my mandolin are about 15 years old. my banjo strings are about a year old.

Sweet!!!! That is one of the best gifts I've seen in awhile.

You're right..... older wood is definitely better. I have a 1924 Gibson A-style Snakehead mandolin and a 1914 F4, both with the original strings I think. :thumb: The guitars are a bit newer .....a 1983 Martin HD-28 and most recently a Collings OM-2H.
