    Re: Loar F5s and the Pros

    F4 design question

    Are all oval hole F's made with the fretboard glued directly to the soundboard. Has anyone made one with it elevated ala F5 and does it make a difference to the tone?

  12. Re: Larry Sparks' Reissue with Stuart Duncan on Mandolin

    yes, Sparks's guitar playing is unique in that it sounds simple but when I try to figure out the notes he's playing it surprises me how he does it fluidly...often big jumps in note selection. Bit...
