From a 2004 Cafe thread discussing the new Distressed Master Model mandolins...

During the 1970s Jack Tottle had a 1950s natural finished Gibson F-5, but I don't know if was original or refinished.
On the hand, you had the best tv show ever!

It was worth the read just to see this. :)

Man, I would sure love to have one of these pre-Gibson-first-restoration Bill Monroe F-5 replicas!
From Dave Harvey's Facebook page about 4 years ago: "This a tribute mandolin project that started...
Mystery solved. After pheffernan suggested it was an EML pick I searched my old emails and found one from Eric of EML Picks when I purchased 2 Peek picks. He included the casein pick shown in my...
Yup, it probably is an EML casein. The EML website shows that all picks are out of stock and also says that Eric will be away until July 3, but that notification is dated June 21, so that...
I bought this pick during the last two years or so, but I can't remember what it is... any ideas?

I just noticed that Bill's gouged out peghead looks different on these two old LP's. One is more gouged out than the other, yet the original removed headplate that sold a few years back looks like...
I have 9 hygrometers in my music storage room and they all measure differently. Let's skip the one that says 39% because that one is obviously wrong. Ironically, the highest reading of 57% is on a...
Does it get any better than this? Mother Maybelle's 1928 L-5 and Bill Monroe's 1923 F-5 proudly sitting in front of Thomas Hart Benton’s “The Sources of Country Music”. (Photo from the Big Night...
No way to tell about the rattle whereabouts, but I did find it interesting that the mando was sans Bill's cool rawhide strap in the display case so when both Ricky and Marty played it they had to use...
You've got to check out the recent hour and a half show filmed at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum which is now on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCKUUSntqWQ

I think that "most" players that consider the mandolin as their primary instrument do not prefer wide or chunky necks. Other than Gibson's Sam Bush model, most modern builder's neck specs are much...
In addition to my very nice "wood" mandolins, I also have a Mix F-5 style carbon fiber mando which I like very much. I personally like the traditional F-5 shape and it has very good tone, but it is a...
It is a scam being listed through an honest seller's hi-jacked account. Check out the seller's other 4500+ listings of high-end instruments, cameras, bicycles, electronics, etc. all with a message to...
That's a home run! But it would have been a grand slam if he had done Beat It with a mandolin break over Eddie Van Halen's guitar solo.
His polka version of Shallow is pretty funny as well.
Try fretting the 3rd and 5th frets while tuning the A string and tweak from there. I always get better results doing that.
From a January 2008 Vintage Guitar Magazine article...
For most of his career, Thile has played mandolins built by luthier Lynn Dudenbostel. He acquired Dudenbostel #5 in 1998, then sold it to buy...
Maybe Gibson was planning ahead for clip-on tuners. :)
Tone-Gard YES:
Chris Thile
Ronnie McCoury

Ricky Skaggs
Tone-Gard NO:

Marty Stuart
Update to my original post:
After initially being disappointed I tried another set of XT's, this time on my 2009 Gilchrist and had much more positive results. They sound quite good and they do...

I recently saw this at a co-op flea market. On the positive side it was only $35.
