I've had bad experiences with home center quality scroll saws in our school model shop - mostly dealing with the tables being woefully out of flat. For the money you pay for a good one you'd be...

If it has to be WHITE, I would look into some kind of synthetic material. In the olden days, you would've used ivory. IMO those old Martins etc. looked AWESOME. But I have no idea whether it had any...

You know, I think that saying was originally meant as a positive statement on teaching, i.e. that an aging Master could pass on knowledge to an able apprentice, who would then perpetuate those skills...

So if I understand the video correctly, technically (though not legally) the mandolin still belongs to Tut? Talk about awkward.

He is quite well known in the Hawaiian (i.e. steel) guitar community. Ben Harper plays one of his instruments, FWTW.

It would be easier to just order (and pick it up) when you go in for your lesson.

I'm going to guess you have one in your pocket.

LOL, what is this, 1913?

Just waiting for decent (ehrm, any) choice in color...

43rd birthday? :confused:

Surprised it didn't come with a gig bag.

Heck, in the micron range I would be concerned about breathing on them too much.

I've seen videos where I've seen japanese craftsmen using the shavings like paper towels - to wipe away excess glue, dirt, etc.

I think whatever that was it started it's life with more than 4 strings.

Is that the original case?

Considering the popularity of U. Srinivas in India (certainly on par with the best mandolin players in the US), it's surprising to me how few Indian mandolins there are - at judging by their scarcity...

Well, he did say, "or greater". :)

Does anyone make a four string at 25.5" other than Breedlove?

Weren't some of the pix in that ad taken directly from the Cafe discussions?

In any case, if it's similar to the one I purchased (and returned) off of eBay it really isn't anything special - and...

Neat.. Thought it was Elvis there for a moment.

Mine:

LOL I was thinking the same thing.

That's a lot of work for not much pay, though. :)

If you like the guitars, you'll like the mandocello. Are you looking to amplify? If so, I would look for a used Ovation - they can be found for $1K or less. If money were no object, order a new one....

Where was the body contouring in the original? Since everyone who's seen one has commented about the weight maybe that might be a place to "customize" first.

Also, just from looking at old photos...

So, just to clarify things for me, Tiny Moore was a very large man, no? It was one of those reverse nicknames?

Just go to any Guitar Center and buy an electric one. I went the other day and there must've been 50 of them in there.
