I got Amanda Lynn!!
Itās been in the family for a while, donāt know how old it is. I have no idea if it sounds good or not, all mandoās sound good to my untrained ear. I put some new strangs on it and the notes seem to ring out pretty good all over the fretboard. I had no idea the bridge was not fixed to the top. I was pretty surprised when it fell in my lap after I took the last string off.
Only thing written is āAlvarez Handmadeā on the inside with a serial # 73080. Iām guessing the back is maple, no idea what the top is made of. Anyone familiar with these things?
Going pretty good so far. Half way through Gold Rush. I think I would do better if I stuck my fingers in a pencil sharpener, not as bad as I thought it would be though.
Looks like the pics are a little too big. Oh well, you get the idea.
