And perhaps my parents will spend $300 on me, if it's super bitchin I wouldn't mind paying for part of it, or my parents will ask my relatives for money to buy me something as a group gift.

Yeah man. My parents ask me what I want every year, and I always go "DAAAAAAAAAAHHHH."
But they always enjoy getting gifts for my family, so yeah... I think I'm going to see if they can custom frame a painting I bought a few years ago, and then there's that overly-comprehensive Beatles recording book that I'd LOVE to have.
Get some fancy cooking shit. That's always fun.

Honestly I didn't mean my "treating you like a man" comment to be that caustic. I guess if I would have put a

It's funny sometimes the kind of reactions we get here on ILF... I often get undesreved
when I was being semi-serious and vice versa.
Anyway... carry on.

At least now there's no more mystery about who Changeeeeeeeeeez is trying to foe!

Nope.
CBA may be annoying, but not that annoying.

I know I do a lot of one-liners, but I'm a wonderful person.

I've got an older Johnson branded instrument which is essentially the same thing. Loud as fuck. One of the loudest mandolins I've ever heard. I've tuned mine down an entire step to reduce the volume and string tension a little. If there's a store nearby you that has one, I recommend that you go play it to check it out. Even if you can't play one before purchasing, I think you'd have a blast with it. So much fun to play. I think they retail for a little more than $300 new, but you may be able to find one for less if you shop around. Since you said you like mandolin, I thought you'd dig it. What else you wanna know?
(I've been thinking about getting one of those resonator cones with the built-in magnetic pickup for mine.)
