I might put a lite red finish on the spruce to match the cherry. Although it looks good the way it is now in the white, so maybe just leave it blonde.

I keep my fingernails cut as short as I can without causing pain. Even with this my nails are too long also, so I tilt my fingers back a little so my nails dont hit the fretboard.
I agree with the Epson salt, then some Neosporin (triple antibiotic). Or, if you listen to the Greeks, Windex fixes everything.
Happy Birthday Scott and Mike!
Sorry about the MAS, unfortunately there is no cure as far as I know. Only temporary fixes, luckily I just got a new mando yesterday so my MAS is under control... for now.

Wow Keith, that cool! I never realized how big an octave mando was until now. So I'm doubly impressed.

On an instrument that has a fixed bridge or one that has been set up, yes. If the open note and the 12th fret note are out of tune, that means the bridge position need to be adjusted.

Count me in! Good luck to all!

Use that pernambuco wisely, its an endangered species and you probably wont be able to find more for a while.
Welcome to the forum Jeremy! Any particular reason you want an Acoustic/Electric mandolin? Unless you perform a lot, the electronics add needless expense. You can get a better acoustic instrument for...
I keep mine in the same room as my piano and some other wooden furniture, along with a humidity gauge. All that wood absorbs the water so no one item takes to much. If the humidity is really high,...
My first mando is underway! All I've got so far is the neck, which is just plain ole hard maple.

It's not just looks, I want a well rounded mando in tone, playability, and looks. MM and Loar have mandos that fit at least two, usually playability and tone with MM looking nice too, but I have a...
http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/msg/2934280062.html I just found this on my local Craigslist page. Is this a good mando? If it is, is $700 a good price for an old Aria Pro II mandolin?
Based on what I have played and heard, I'm leaning towards a Morgan Monroe. I have a good friend who has played the mandolin for 30yr who says that MM makes good mandolins. My local shop has a...
D C, I am into bluegrass. I may have to go find some Kentuckys to try, I've already played some Loars and Eastmans. Any particular reason to shy away from MM, I know MK can be iffy. Personally, I...
I would prefer a F style, I think I have some scroll envy with my minor case of MAS.
Rico, I'm looking to upgrade from a bottom of the line, plywood Fender to something that will be good till I have the skills to warrant something like a Collins or a Weber. I'm just a teenager, so...
Just enjoy where I am at till I start improving again.

Both the classic and the classic sunburst finishes on the Eastmans look very nice, I'm just not a big fan of the shape of the neck and the radiused fret board on them. I also like the finish of the...
I am in the market for a new mandolin. I'm looking in a budget of less than $1000, maybe $700-800. I would like a blonde finish or a light sunburst, unlike the burst on the Loars, with the...
There is a Jam in Marietta, Georgia every Tuesday. Its held at The Australian Bakery Cafe, although its usually on the sidewalk out front, from 6-10pm with a good crowd showing every week.

Wow! That is one gorgeous mando! If I had the money for it, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
