Well I finally got time today to scope the last 5 frets on my mandolin. Installed a Weber bridge a month ago. As I was restring mandolin bridge flipped out got that back together Put new strings on and promptly broke the A string . Luckily I had more strings. After I get it back together the farther down the frets i go the more I was off like a whole sharp at the 12th fret. loosened all the string and finally got it where 1st and upper frets were right. worked about 2 hours scoping refreting etc. but now its all done and I can pick away and enjoy my deeds now! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif Have a good day everyone .

Did you get really hot and break in a sweat and curse and say nasty things to the spirit of the first mandolin maker? I did that just changing my strings on my first mandolin. I cried, too. That was four months ago. I can handle my emotions much better now. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif
