  2. Re: Who makes A-style mandos that sound similar to Givens?

    Thanks y'all.

  3. Who makes A-style mandos that sound similar to Givens?

    Hi,

  4. Re: F5's from $3000-5000 worth considering - Sept '19

    Thanks folks! The Pomeroy and Poe are very interesting.
    The Pava F5 Satin is super interesting but the Pomeroy and Poe seem like a good value until I wanna spend more.
  5. Re: F5's from $3000-5000 worth considering - Sept '19

    Ah okay. Thanks f5loar. 10-4 on the lacquer.

  18. 2001 Flatiron Festival F - Add a radiused fretboard?

    Hi y'all, So I had a Collings MT for years. Great mando, great neck. Easy to fly across the fretboard. Was like a little sports car.

    Thanks DavidKOS.

    Yes, it's mind numbing how much is out there on "correct picking"... and how hidden using the harmonic minor/flat9/diminished over a i-V7 change is. A critical change/crossroads...
