If you're going to try to curl it back the right way, the easiest thing to use would be a pair of scissors. Just slack it up and curl the blade up and down around the back of the ribbon. This is how...

Maybe that's what they're referring to by the cryptic: "Slight seperation of the wood resonator to body (about 3 inches). This should be an easy fix."
A few things I always do if I'm interested in buying anything slightly expensive off eBay are the following:
1) Add it to your "watchlist". Sellers can see how many people are watching an item. If...
I have no trouble believing that it's a fake. That's different from fraud, however.
Gibson does not have a copyright on anything. At best, they have a trademark on the use of their name and logo....
Maybe I'm just mean-spirited, but I don't see where there is any fraud.
F5 is a style designation used by many mandolin manufacturers, not just a Gibson model number anymore.
The seller didn't...
Looks great, Martin.... and don't I know you from somewhere else online? :whistling:
Yes. It's quite the opposite, really. The vast majority of picks preferred by mandolinists are much bulkier (both heavier and larger) than the standard teardrop guitar pick.
Is it my imagination, or did you scallop all of those fretboards? How weird.
There's only one way it can go with the way it is now.
Seems like you'd be taking off an awful lot of material to flatten the top and recut the slots so that it could go the other way.
Heh. Perhaps.
It's probably like most tab, and represents an attempt to condense the entire ensemble of performers down to one "sound", as opposed to trying to decipher what is actually being...
What fingerings are you using for the G and Em? Could you use Em7?
Something like 0553 - 2453 - 4223 [or 0223?] could be appropriate.
If you want something way open, you could try 0053 - 0052 -...
Why the 1 in 2001? That doesn't make a lick of sense.
Heck, you could just strum 0000. It'd be close enough.
I'd probably try 240x, 2403, 2453, or 245x, personally.
Any of those would...
Dude! That herringbone binding is superb.
Haha. I guess I'll take Bob Dylan. It's better than something like "A cat with laryngitis," which is probably more apt. If anything, I think lyrics are one of my stronger suits, so it's a shame you...
I was only kidding about the "no tomatoes" bit, guys. I have really thick skin.
If you've taken the time to take a listen to them, even "you suck" would be nice to hear. :)
Everything, really. Mostly, he's authentic and writes like he's got nothing to prove. Too many songwriters try much too hard, but he's unpretentious, unassuming, and has an uncanny knack for saying...
I'm a pianist by training, a mandolinist only by virtue of owning a mandolin, a songwriter by night, and a singer by nobody's account, so be warned.
I ran across a songwriting contest just a few...
That's pretty much the definition of a pull-off.
Works for me. I've been demoing my Ultex 1.14s against less expensive picks (Dawg, 2nd hand Wegen, etc), and none come close. Glad to hear that they hold up against the high-end picks, too. Makes me...
The snakehead isn't perfectly straight, though.
I hadn't thought about the Stratocaster. Heh.
I've never seen tuners positioned so the strings go straight back from the nut to the tuner machines. Very cool. Seems like a great idea.
It's not absolutely necessary, but it is awfully common [ha, a musical pun].
It's possible to transpose from G to Ab instead, for example, even though there are no common chords.
In the case...
That's about right.
Celine Dion. Hah. Remember the song Lil Rounds sung on Idol last week? With that long note that she slid up half a step half-way in?
It usually happens at the end of a...
Yeah, it's the intro / interlude / outro that has the stuff I'm talking about.
Those repeated high E's don't sound like melody material to me in that part.
Around 1:10 to 1:30, there seems to...
