Put the title aside, who really cares about that. The technology going into the production is interesting. That's what I am interested in hearing people's thoughts about.

My thoughts exactly, I've looked around and $1600 seemed pretty expensive.

What are everyone's thoughts on buying online vs. buying in person? I've bought my first mando at the Mandolin Store (I...

After years of beating on my little old Kentucky, I have decided to upgrade. I have scroll envy, but I realize that I could buy a great a-style mandolin that won't break my budget.

I have read...

I know that Thile and Daves play it in B, but what on earth does he do in the intro? It sounds like some crazy pull off, and for the life of me, I can't figure how Chris Thile does it (go figure.) ...

Thanks a lot everyone, check her out...

This is my first build, and due to the inexperience and budget, I'm using rattle cans for the whole finish job. The drips were from my first couple of coats when I was just getting use to the spray....

Very weird spamming going on here.

I'm using a nitrocellulose laquer as my sealer, so I think I'm safe.

How should I take care of the drip marks? Is the 600 grit I am using too fine or...

I sprayed unevenly when I was applying my sealer and now there are uneven areas and drip marks. I thought I could try to sand the areas down, so I grabbed some 600 and started to sand the areas and...

Rock on dude!

Hey Mark- I was able to get soon or never just by ear, you think you could give clara a shot? You know any chord progressions?

Any one out there made an attempt to tab out some songs? Maybe a couple chord progressions?

Throw a dog a bone! Please!

This looks awesome! The Mandolin Store was so unbelievably helpful when I ordered with them, so I am sure this thing rocks. I'm crossing my fingers on this one, I need to upgrade from my old...

Rick- Thanks a lot for your advice and that link, I'll take a crack at it and let you know how it works.

Does anyone have any advice on how I could refinish the body?

Paul- I would take it to someone, if I could find someone. I've been looking around for a local luthier and the ones I have asked about it have said that don't do instrument repair (cope out IMO). ...

So I found this old mando about a little while ago, no idea on the make or model, but I took it to a friend who said it was OLD (like 1910's/20's old, he said he figured that out by the way the frets...

Does anyone have Appel Direct by Django tabbed out? I was just introduced to this song today and it is smmmookkkinn. The chord progression would be awesome too.

Thanks a lot!

So I just heard this tune played by the Carolina Chocolate Drops (who are awesome) and I need to learn how to play this tune on the good ol mando. Can anyone help me with the chord progression? From...

Whats up everyone, I'm tryin to learn Dead Leaves and Dirty Ground by the White Stripes and everywhere I look the chord progression includes chords such as A5, D5, F5 and G5. My theory is pretty...

Sorry to double post, but here's a vid of hey joe, its mighty

That awful slide guitar you refer to is Jerry Douglas, have some respect. I figure I should revive this thread because I'm interested in the chord progression for Hey Joe too. I found this site,...

Awesome stuff, thanks man.

How does a capo on a guitar effect the chords I play on my mandolin? I realize that this may be a niave or stupid question, but its something I've always wondered. Take the song Whiskey by Trampled...

GDGD still doesn't sound quite right, but I may be playing it wrong. The dude that plays it is Erik Berry if that helps anyone figure this out.

I really like this tune off of Blue Sky and the Devil. The mando is pretty ferocious in it, but for the life of me I can't figure out what hes playing. I was able to find the guitar chords, but...
