    Re: A new F-5

    That is beautiful. I love the sunburst and the satin finish, also love the headstock shape and your logo is nice. I am also a fan of those fret markers. Are they triangles inlayed in there?

    Re: Harmony mini strat to mandola/tenor

    I got a mini telecaster kit from stew-mac during covid lockdown. I ended up using New Standard Guitar-like tuning (Robert Fripp tuning). It ended up being strung as: low to high FCGDAC. It was not...

    Re: tenor or new standard tuning

    I made a mini telecaster from a Stew Mac kit during lockdown. I tuned it to NST (FCGDAC) and have had some fun with it. The low F string is a bit floppy, and I haven't gotten used to the high C. ...

    Re: Beginner staining & finishing

    That finish came out way shinier than I thought it would. Looks good. How many coats did you put on?

    I ordered an Eastman 815V last year and after tuning it up and playing for a few minutes I was ready to send it back. Same type of sound you describe. I kept it over the weekend and played a bunch...

    Re: Shopping for a Breedlove, I think...

    I have a Cascade that I played for about 5 years. I've since gotten a Weber Yellowstone and haven't played the Cascade much. The sound opened up quite a bit after I started playing bluegrass. Its got...

    I so look forward to the warmer weather just to get on the porch and play. I sometimes put a lawn chair in the yard to sit and play while the dog chews a messy bone. I've gotten some strange looks...

    Re: looking for a recorder

    I have an Olympus LS-10 - I highly recommend it. My friend has a Yamaha Pocketrak recorder - there are several models less than $200 and they sound good also.

    Its interesting that you say its the ugliest, because I just bought an 815V which I was thinking may be the ugliest. I had only seen pictures when I bought it. It's yellow (really yellow) with the...

    This thread is like a mosquito bite. The more you scratch it the more it itches.

    I keep telling myself that I won't look at this anymore, but I can't stop. What's wrong with me?

    I've been playing my Breedlove Cascade for about 5 years now and its a very versatile mandolin. I had been mostly playing country, folk-rock type stuff and its perfect for that. This past year I've...
