Default NMD (New Mandolin Day)! - 02-17-2009, 10:48 PM

So my dad recently asked for the mandolin I borrowed off him years ago back. I didn't have any use for it anyhow, except for a song that I want the recorded version of to have mando on it (to get a Celtic feel).

So I recently stumbled on a cheapo Oscar Schmidt/Washburn OM-10E "Faith" mando on my local Craigslist. The "Faith" is apparently something they marketed to church players because it's white and they put a "fish" symbol on the headstock. There's a regular version in sunburrst without the fish, but this one was the "Faith" version. The pickup is in the bridge, and not visible.

Here's a stock pic from a music store site:



For some reason the one for sale was missing the pickguard, which is really no big whup to me. Everything works, so I went ahead and bought it. The seller threw in a strap. No case. $85 USD.

I wish I were more handy. I'm not even up for all but the simplest of mods. I could never actually build anything.
