How far is Slovenia (part of former Yugoslavia) from Ireland?

My best friend and band mate is Irish, but my interest in Irish/Celtic music came from my background in folk music.
Fairport...

Thanks guys, that's the info I was looking for. I'll play the A8 mainly in an acoustic folk/bluegrass trio and an Irish duo with acoustic guitar. I also have a friend who plays keyboards in a prog...

I've been playing mine through a Roland Micro Cube and although it sounds good, it gets too much 'tick' and piezo quack. For gigs I'd like to run it through the PA or an acoustic amp like your...

"Looks like Godin is trying to help us out when people ask about our little guitars. They added "mandolin" on the headstock so they can just read what it is. Mine, serial #07043459, has the "Godin...

Different tailpieces? Do you mean the tailpiece cover? Or the entire piece? I just got it so I haven't changed strings or messed with it at all.

But yes, very well built. I already own an Art and...

Just got this A8, it's one of the new ones with an adjustable bridge. Not your usual acoustic mando, but I needed one I can amplify in a loud setting without feedback. ...

Godin A8. Made in Canada.

Just got my Godin A8 in the mail today!

So far I'm very impressed. Came with the Godin padded gig bag, seems well made and looks good.

The mando was just about perfect right out of the case....

I hope so! The Martin strings share the same .011 E string as the J74's but the rest are are a little lighter. I put a similar set on a cheap oval hole acoustic mando I own and they sound pretty...

I had a Mandobird 4 and while it played and sounded great,
at the end of the day it still sounded like a very high-strung
guitar as MandoSquirrel said.

I think if you want a more...

I just ordered a Godin A8. I should get it within a week. Can't wait!
Did a lot of research and agree with most that if you want to go Ovation,
a used MM68 made in USA is the way to go.

I have...

The Godin web site lists the strings for the A8 as J74's.

I just ordered an A8 and hope to get it within a week. It's the natural finish. Can't wait!!!

"On the guitar side no one I know would buy a new Gibson".

Wow. What a blanket, BS statement. You'd buy a Gibson mandolin, but not a guitar? I just picked up a used Gibson J-185, and it's the...

Big shout out and thanks to the staff at Gibson OAI. Big Joe and Danny Roberts helped me out with a problem (my problem, not the mando's-----lost tuner button screw) I recently had with my F9.

As...

What's up with these? Anyone play one? Import?

(how'd they get away with using that name?)

Did get a reply from Big Joe, Gibson is taking care of the problem under warranty. Yea, mando joy will resume shortly! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mandosmiley.gif

Hey Jeremy, is Big Joe even still around? I PM'd him days ago about a new tailpiece for my F9 and have yet gotten no response. Luckily, I was able to get hold of a guy named John at Gibson service...

Wow! Lots and lots of 'boutique' amps in use nowadays. Really like the looks of that bad cat.

I'm using a Peavey Delta Blues. 35 watts of pure tube power! Vintage tweed cover. Sweet sounds!...

Baron----Great job man!! #The 'Duo' sounds really good! #Liked all the tracks, and the recording is done very nicely. I gotta admit, after hearing that I really miss the old A9! (could I get it back...
