Hello folks, I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new National RM-1 and from what I've read it will most likely arrive with a higher than needed action. I was just wondering what string height...

Thanks Mickey King. I have dropped her a line.. Cheers. Unfortunately sold out

Sorry folks I am not getting my messages for some reason. :confused:

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately after contacting them, neither Grover nor WD carry them. I wonder if another brand would fit or whether someone makes custom buttons?

I am wondering if there is anyone out there who knows where I can buy custom buttons for my Grover 309 tuning pegs? I would even settle for ebony or black plastic. I am open to other materials as...

I bought my A5L from Curtis Peake a few years ago only to find that it is signed by Charlie Derrington which gave it a special mojo. Purchased from a once Bluegrass Boy and signed by the miracle...

I am fortunate to own and play a Stiver F5 #334. Purchased from Elderly's in 2015 and I haven't put it down since. very balanced, great chop and nice midrange. I have a friend who bought an 1984...

Thank you everyone for your help snd thank you JString. I wrote to Lou and true to the gentleman he is, replied with a generous response. He suggested a 3/16 inch Allen wrench so there’s my answer....

Hello folks. I have a question regarding the truss rod nut on my Stiver F5 mandolin. I am needing to make a slight truss rod adjustment but when I removed the cover I was confronted with an...

Mike Blohm made these for me a few years ago. I still enjoy looking at the headstock when I pick up the Stiver. Lovely buttons.

My Stiver F5 would be extremely difficult to part with. Love it.

I have just received a set of Handel replica tuning buttons crafted by Mike Blohm. I am very impressed with the quality of the work and they look spiffy to boot. Thanks Mike.

Looks like it sold.

I'm wanting to gauge if there is any interest in setting up a registry for Stiver mandolins. I am happy to set something up if there is some interest. I haven't quite thought of the structure or...

I used paper towelling to remove the excess, rubbing until the towelling was not showing any stain. I can't smell shoe polish. I think tea is just as good but you may need to soak it overnight. I...

I spent a little time with a scour pad and some shoe polish and transformed some very bright white plastic tuner buttons to something more demure. Very happy with the result.

I'm wondering why this hasn't sold yet. Has anyone out there managed to try it?

When Sully quoted me for postage I put the full amount into his PayPal account after he shipped the package he refunded me the difference. It was only a few dollars but it was just another example of...

Hi Ivan, Sully will make it anyway you ask, he is extremely communicative. I had mine shipped to Hong Kong with a cap for around 10GBP and was here in 5 days.

I too make plaited straps from kangaroo leather for anyone who asks (top) but at the moment I am using a Sully (bottom).

Dear BC Pick,
I will never take you for granted ever again.

Just bought it. They are just right aren't they?

How does a lover of Beer and a lover Mandolins acquire one of those stickers? I feel I need to promote the concept by putting one on my case. Cheers

I finally ordered my Sully Strap and had the pleasure of dealing with a true gentleman who was very patient, accommodating, interested and interesting. It's rare to find these traits as well as...

Go on admit it, it wasn't a joke, it was a test to see if it could actually stay there ha ha!
