This should probably be in a PM to Scott Tichenor.
I can get tunearch.org to come up, the other appears to be down.
Unfortunately as we age we find there are some things we are no longer interested in fighting. Heavy electric basses and large bodied arched top guitars have been that way for me. All of a sudden...
Are you looking for a name of someone to do the work? If so, what city are you located in?
Possibly on an F5G. Although the style of the cover on mine was the same as the upper model F5's it only said Gibson in script. I was able to get a The Gibson cover and sold mine here a decade ago or...
Well they called it the nut before and I just got stupid reading it. You are correct, it's the nut. The materials make sense.
I never noticed that. Probably a typo by the guy setting the plate for that page. I'm thinking they might have meant "dots".
Perfect, thanks.
So what is the actual size of the wrench needed so that there is an answer to that to go along with Adrian's technique when somebody searches for this twenty years from now?
Harmony was actually making this model back in the mid 30's. I got this catalog page years back when I bought the other side of the page. It had a mid 30's Kalamazoo KM-11 that could be dated by the...
Images for posterity:
I'm not totally sure how playable this one is. It looks like it's seen more than its share of moisture over a long period of time. As far as original goes, I don't have a problem with changed parts....
Harmony was building some nice instruments back then. They were competing as a musical instrument rather than the commodity they became. I seriously doubt they had anyone on staff that was concerned...
I'm old but wasn't yet born in the 1700's but I admire your interest in keeping it real. :)
I'd probably grab a bowlback with no brand name on it just for the look.

Getting back to the rhinestones, that is simply a trend we have seen for years. Not a whole lot but not unusual. I assume all you needed was a drill, some glue, the stones of the rhine and a steady...
I found the ad I was looking for.
Made by Harmony in Chicago, it came the factory that way (with the exception of the rhinestones), it's a fairly common body style that was sold with many different levels of trim. I can't see the...
I see several conversations about this over the years without a definitive answer. I'd be tempted to call Bruce Weber at Montana Luthery.
I missed out on owning a Le Domino uke. My step-father owned it and I took the teens Martin uke instead. It was like the dark ones on this site. The original Stewarts.
...
Yeah, well. I didn't stop buying and selling because I was getting beat at the end and I certainly wish I was more familiar with this technology stuff. It simply escapes me. :cool:
I should point out that neither do I. I have passed on those mandolins over the years just because. I hope whomever is jonesing for it gets it here.
Greg Rich posted it a while back.
You don't need a service or an app to snipe in the last seconds of an auction. You just need to be there with the bid preloaded. I did that as a second job for years. I also watched a mandolin I was...
You have to understand how the Gibson Custom shop worked in the days of Jim Triggs and Greg Rich.
