I just moved to England (Cambs area) and I'm looking for a good luthier to trust with my Gib. I just need either a new bridge made, or to get the original carved so it fits the top better (it's...
The one thing that struck me odd about ordering from Elderly was that I was oversea's in the military. #Due to living in Dorms, I could only receive mail through my PO Box via the US Post Office. #I...
Watch out for fake Postal money orders too. #It wasn't here, but a buddy of mine still got scammed that way. # http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif
How about a Planet Waves Headstand? #They cost $11.50 and fit under the neck to elevate the peghead when changing strings. #It works on guitars, mando's, basses, and banjos.
And maybe a D'Addario...
Sexy!
I'm just wondering how plane travel effects a Mando if you're forced to check it in with your luggage. #I assume you would loosen the strings. #But can being in the belly of plane at high altitudes...
I can almost hear the puurrrrr coming from that photo! #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif
If Santa doesn't bring me a digital camera in my stocking (ho hoho), I should have enough pennies saved in January. #Be on the look out in the photo's forum....
Hi Mike. #I picked up a white with orange interior. #When I open it up, I think the orange radiates some sort of engergy into me to playing! #This case really gives me no worries about protection. If...
A month ago I got my new Mando. #It's a custom F5-G. #A Black top with highly flamed Vintage Red sides and back. #Sort of like an old F2. #It also has a Sam Bush neck (both in size, inlays, binding,...
I just bought a case from Gary Price after reading about them on a post here. #He was really pleasant to buy from and seems like a great guy. #My mando fits nice and snug. #The case is a little bit...
The other few Mandolins I've seen in person didn't have this issue. But this Mando does have a wider, fatter neck then I've seen (which is what I wanted).
It play's, feels, and looks super sweet...
I just received a Mando that I custom ordered. #It both looks and plays sweet. #My one complaint is that the scroll is really really close to the neck and I can't slide a strap in. #I can just slide...
No need to apologize. #It sounds like she's got a happy new owner. #Play that 8 string Mandolin #http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif
So that's where it went. The day I planned on calling it was sold. Luck of the draw, I guess. How's she sound anyway?
3/4 is the way to go for size and is pretty much standard. #I used to play Upright for about 2 years. #You should be able to find all the info you need at www.gollihur.com, it's got links, a...
You can try www.mandolincentral.com. #I just bought a cool Black Calton case with vintage green interior from him last month that he had in stock. #I think he usually has either some in stock or at...
I know this is a little late to post a reply but I figured I would reply because a few people have asked in new posts since this was posted.
I used to play URB (upright bass) before the mando. #I...
Take into consideration fret wear and stuff too. If you really dig the sound, you should be able to talk him down if it needs it done.
I was about to buy a new F9 but ran across and bought a very slightly used (you can see it at www.folkofthewood.com/page4754.htm) F5-G. #I gambled and bought it unheard. But even though she's not...
Hey Billy. #Thanks for your well wishes and support. #It's a pleasure to serve a fine country with people such as yourself.
May God bless all those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. #Both this...
I guess I'll contact Sam and see if he's taking orders. #If he's not, I'll go with a Calton because I have a couple of plane trips coming up in the fall.
Thanks for the great info. #This site...
I'm not sure if you're planting some of your fingers on your pick gaurd or not while playing. #I know that many great players do, but I found it restricted my wrist movement which in turn would cause...
I'm in the military and due to my travels, would like to buy a real solid case to protect my new F5-G. #
Sooo... #I was thinking about a Calton but then ran into a website for Pegasus cases. #They...
