    Thanks! That looks similar to the one I saw, though it has not been cleaned up in a while.

    I'll pass on the info!

    Take care,

    Old Gibson A-Body With F-Hole, Not Oval

    I work with a friend who's husband had an old mandolin formerly belonging to his grandmother. I ask to see it and she brought it to work the other day.

    Re: OT: Guitar Repair In No. Ohio

    Yep, I had Eric put on a "naked" rosewood fretboard with rosewood binding. Its a very sweet combo! I did put that in my estimate request to Ken so that might be why the quote is $300ish.

    Not that...

    Re: OT: Guitar Repair In No. Ohio

    Thanks Ed,

    Will definitely follow up on this. Might take a couple months, though.

    Hadn't really thought about changing the fretboard radius. I can tell the difference on my mandos, though, &...

    Re: OT: Guitar Repair In No. Ohio

    I've gotten one estimate for aprox. $300 for the neck re-fret & setup. I don't really have an idea of what a job like that should cost.

    Does $300 sound about right to you guys?

    Have you used Ken's services? Where is he located? The web page doesn't give much info.

    Re: Compulsive purchase- Flatiron 1N

    Not certain but I think it has more to do with the model than the year. The basic models I've seen have the black name & the higher grade mandos have the white.

    Of course, I could be wrong. :grin:...

    Got this unit delivered Friday & finally got it going this morning. RH rising slowly but looks like it will work well for what I need. Currently up from aprox. 25% to 30%.
