Tell us something.: Of course I'm not a bot; I've been here for years... Apparently that isn't enough to pass muster though!

Hey, I've got three whistles that I'll trade you for it. :D

That's a mighty fancy headstock.

that was the first thing my wife noticed... she can't tell the difference in sound between the F style and the Foley, but she really liked the headstock (and the rosewood back).

My weakness is mandolins and hers is furniture, so i guess i'm not surprised.

Dude, congratulations. I had a Foley bouzouki for a while that was just about perfect -- the guy makes unbelievable instruments.

That's a pretty fine argument for impulsive thinking! You wouldn't have the impulse to swap it for my spare 6-wt fly rod or anything like that?

Me want... :twisted:
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.
