This is the sunburst FM-52E. I bought it three years ago thinking I'd learn enough to cover the mando parts in 'Chicago', but I did them on guitar instead. Therefore this still resides in its original shipping box.
I understand that these are pretty good - I'm no expert - and it's offered here for $175 + shipping. The first string has snapped (for no reason that I can comprehend - it certainly wasn't 'cause I was practicing on it!!!) but otherwise I can't see a blemish anywhere.
I don't have a picture, but a trip to the 'Musicians' Friend' web-site will suffice.
I can take PayPal, but add 3% of the total for their commission. Otherwise, I'd like a USPS Money Order.

Bump...
Just to clarify - this is a hollow-body with a single pick-up. It resembles an 'A' style in general outline.

Sorry, Ron - right now I can't; my wife has the digital camera at work with her.
Go to 'Musicians Friend' and look up the FM-52E under Fender Mandolins - there are pics there and mine's identical.

Hey that looks just like this one . .
It's a great little mandolin - stays in tune and everything!
I've used this one in quite a few recordings.

| These are surprisingly good sounding and playing mandolins. I've used one for years. |

Are there any feedback issues with these? Can they get "out front" over the elec guitars in a live gig situation without howling?

Dennis,
I honestly don't know - my one has never been out of the house, never mind 'out front'....
Maybe Kevin has more experience with his.
Is this a rhetorical question, or are you interested in perhaps acquiring this fine piece of luthiery?

| No feed back and they cut through the mix. Believe me, they do the job just fine. For the money, in an electic band they do great. I use mine through a Behringer Acoustic amp with feed back elimination on it. The Behringer allows for full range equalization with anti-feed back controls. |

| Other than the original shipping box, is there a case, too? |

No case - they don't come with one, and I never had occasion to take the instrument out.
