On a follow up I contacted my bank and signed some papers disputing the charges to my account, I also revisited the page where I first seen the mandolin and there is nothing on the page that says this is a mini or miniature item, not to scale etc.. very misleading Ebay sent me a follow up refund page with a little hitch they want additional funds for shipping it back thats when I decided to let my bank handle it. I will never shop on ebay again.

If I have to keep it and not get reimbursed I will put it on top of my speakers to remind me next time I buy off the web to make sure it is what I want
Well. It'll make a right nice, though crazy expensive, Christmas tree ornament.

Re: Guitars Garden (6 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
They are made in China and from most of the comments on Facebook (Firefly friends) and youtube videos there is no difference in sound or playability or quality between the Fireflys and Gibson Les Pauls only the price but as I mentioned the one I ordered will arrive by thursday and I will make a video comparing mine
Where are they made?

Re: PAWNEE CREEK (5 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
hi Jim yep it was! I think you have to find a nice groove and work out an arrangement based on that before adding lyrics at least thats one way sometimes the lyrics come 1st. thanks for taking a look

Re: Tonewood Amp (5 replies, posted in Acoustic)
For those who are not familar with Tonewood amps it is a device that magenetically attaches to the back of your accoustic guitar (I have one) the onboard effects include reverb, delay, tremolo and a few others it uses 3 batteries and I would suggest rechargable due to the cost of replacing them but on the bright side it has a wonderful sound dimension it adds to your accoustic guitar. the price is around $190.00 US dollars.

Re: Am I Ageist? (4 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
The difference in culture of one decade always amazes me I have a brother who is 11 years older he loves Sinatra and the big bands he is also a musician with his own big band it's like he is trapped in a time zone along with all the other people who are still in there mid to late 80s the same as I am part of a younger generation (78) those who are 10 years younger then me have there own "druthers" and so on and so on it is quite normal my brother and I do not agree on just about anything with the exception of football.
