My 1914 Gibson A fits in Weber's shaped A case beautifully. They are the most solid vinyl/wood/velvet cases I've encountered. Excellent protection.

Be careful with this tuner. I've been using it for the last month and love the accuracy (good enough to tune string pairs together when it can't be done by ear at a loud bar gig), but this morning...

I carry my teens Gibson A in a standard Weber shaped case. Fits great and is very solidly built. I bought it direct from Weber.

I went ahead and ordered the Schertler Basik from Amazon. I'll be sure to share my impressions.

The clip I refer to is a video in this thread. They took the time to sync the house audio with the camera video, so it seems pretty well produced. At first listen it sounds clean and clear, but as...

Thanks Mandroid. I had researched the C411 a bit but was scared off by the "mini XLR" jack and some comments about the cable to connect it was not included and quite expensive. Is this true in your...

I think I've narrowed it down to these two. I play in an acoustic folk-rock group (no drums) in small clubs with monitors. I understand that they are two different transducer types. The K&K seems...

You might try a Weber mandola case. My teens A Gibson mandolin fits great in their mandolin case, but I have not tested the mandola setup. They make the nicest compact (shaped) cases south of a...

In my brain I think they might be cool, but I've never actually heard one. Can anyone point to any online recordings?

Looks a little chubby. Sure it's not a mandola?

Informative thread guys. I'll add that in my personal experience and it also depends on the neck wood density and dimensions. I have a Morris A4 (longneck hybrid) that has a very slim neck with a...

After a closer look, that JoeMeek does have balanced outs. They are just 1/4". I might just have to try one out. Has anyone used one before?

I just found the JoeMeek ThreeQ. It might be the closest yet to what I'm looking for. A balanced out would make it a real winner.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'd prefer not to have to carry a rack full of equipment. I was thinking of maybe buying the Presonus EQ3B and TubePre and duct taping one on top of the other. Still...

I'm looking for a mic preamp/eq to use with an AT pro35. This would be for live work and not studio. So something small and physically robust is in order. A stompbox would be cool, but I've never...

I have an early teens Gibson A that needs fretboard level/refret and I'm thinking about having the tuner holes redrilled to allow for modern spaced tuners. I live in Alaska and I haven't been able...

Part of my treatment for coping with the wait for my new BRW mandolin is to do a weekly search for forum posts containing "BRW", but the new forum search won't accept a search for words shorter than...

Thanks, I did find some good pics on the archive.

David, no those are the later style clamp that Gibson started using around 1912 I think. The earlier one look like this:

I recently purchased a 1911 Gibson A with a missing pickguard clamp. I know originals are hard to come by, and I have not been successful in finding even a photo of an original clamp. I have some...

I really like the way it sounds. That G string has some serious bass. Unfortunately I'm stuck in 1st position due to the out of level fretboard. If I try to play higher than the 7th fret on any...

Some sort of white paint on the back of the headstock. Looks like house paint. I can scratch it off with my finger.

A few more detailing the neck. What do you think, replaced? No sign of a heel crack. Seems like the neck might be maple.

Thanks for the hints guys. I looked at the heel closely, and if the neck has been replaced, someone did a really nice job. It does have the "V" shape, and there are spots where the finish is worn...

I'm looking at buying a 1911 A (serial #11859) from a coworker. It seems pretty solid overall, and looks all original except an adjustable bridge added. It has a 3-piece neck, which seems different...
