Yeah the Kelly prices are up quite a bit recently. Popularity I suppose. But compared to The Gibson it's still relatively inexpensive. ;)
Another thing is that you can sometimes snare a blemished model direct from Michael Kelly guitars at eBay. They (or they used to) sell off their own "seconds" that way. It'll get you a bit of a discount...
Peace
i got a mando yesterday and i feel that my guitar play has goten wose :cry: . What can I do to get my guitar playing back up again?
Since yesterday? :shock:
yes when I play guitar after playing mandolin I feel unpractised it's probably just me :roll:
Do you also have trouble switching from one type of guitar to another (e.g., acoustic to/from electric or between guitars with different neck scales)? If so, it's just about learning and conditioning your muscle memory. This is something that only playing and time can do. While you are having this trouble, make sure you slow it down and develop/learn solid technique -- you want your neuro-muscular system to "learn" the right stuff.

Just spend time practising both at least every other day. By the way I find if I don't keep up with the mandolin my fingers get almost bleeding if I have a long practise on it - must be the double strings, I guess it's the same if you have a twelve string guitar.
Yeh, the GIbson Mando prices are extreme, in Aussie prices up to and over $10,000, don't know how they can justify that, but if my husband wins lotto I'm allowed to get a $5000 one, LOL
I wrote my advice before I had read GNease's- so take his over mine as he is a lot more experienced than me
