  1. Re: Article: Gold Tone Announces New Mastertone F-10: 10-String F

    Can anyone weigh in on how the F-10 compares (soundwise) to the Goldtone Mandola?
    thanks!

    I have on loan a 5-string Schwab electric mandolin (telecaster body, FWIW) which has flatwound strings presently. I am not a fan of flatwounds and hope to be replacing them soon with nickel electric...

  6. Re: Shipping two instruments in the same box...?

    Jim, it is a pedal steel (old sho-bud) without the pedal frame or pedals. And, yes, it still weighs a ton.

    I had a couple of lessons with Paul some years back and found him to be an excellent teacher. If you're on the fence, go for it.

    I'm not looking for versatility--basically wanting something for your basic Tiny Moore/Paul Glasse sort of thing, so CGDAE is preferred. I have electric guitars for extended low end. But I am...

    Re: 5-string solid body electric--advice?

    Due to range considerations, I'd lean towards an actual 5-string mandolin/mandola over the conversion. But the idea of a quickie conversion of the 3/4 strat (22.5") to a tenor guitar is intriguing...

    Re: 5-string solid body electric--advice?

    Niles, so you lopped off the bottom 2" of the neck and drilled new screw holes?

    How is the intonation--I would think that would be tricky to get just right...?

    This is great stuff.

    I thought "chord melody" was when you play a melody and harmonize each note with a chord, more or less...?

    Thanks, Jim--I was hoping to find something quick and free for the student. Looks like he'll have to pony up a few bucks.
    I'm surprised there's so little available.

    Well, maybe it's just me--they seem loose on a Blueridge, esp. when compared to medium light D'Addarios on a regular 6-string. I mean, you've got the same high E but with a couple of inches less...
