    Re: best bluegrass A-mandolin for $2-3K

    I have an MT that is a monster. I love it with all my heart. My buddy also has a Silver Angel that is a great mando as well. They do have a difference in tone, but not in a way that one is really...

    Re: jamgrass bands

    See, this might be part of the problem. It might be that the hipness of the scene is overshadowing the quality of the music. :-p

    Re: jamgrass bands

    But I shouldn't be acting as though I'm blaming the band. If you started a garage bluegrass band and played a few clubs and hoards of kids came out to spin to it, wouldn't you keep playing for them?

    Re: jamgrass bands

    I would be much cooler with the whole jamgrass thing if the band members would be able to have honed their craft and play better. It just seems backwards to have longer solos and instrumental...

    Tips for finger cuts

    I sliced the top of my middle finger open with a rather dull knife last night. I've never wanted to play mandolin so bad, but I can't because it hurts. I've tried duct tape and some (rather cheap)...

    Re: ...stiff strings?

    Thanks Bernie. This is likely the case, but man can it be convincingly different-sounding sometimes. Just goes to show you how big the difference really is between your perception and the objective...

    Re: ...stiff strings?

    Thanks, a little consensus helps. I've been having a feeling that it has been mostly in my head. I look forward to this all year, and this is my first time attending the academy, so I'm sure therein...

    ...stiff strings?

    Does anyone else ever just feel like their mando sounds or plays different from one day to the next? I've been playing my mandolin quite a bit lately, and the strings have been pretty dead on it for...

    Re: I know this is a mandolin forum, but...

    Well, I noticed that the case was laying flat when I usually set it down on its side. Could be nothing, but it made me think. If I had stepped on it, even in a state of slightly altered...

    Re: I know this is a mandolin forum, but...

    I've had the guitar since late 2008/early 2009. It was built in 2007 and was at the store for over a year. I had held out and bartered down to under 1,400 dollars after it was in the classified for a...

    Re: I know this is a mandolin forum, but...

    Yes, I'll definitely get it fixed. Spending 400-500 dollars on a new guitar instead of the repair won't have me as nice of a guitar than my Guild repaired. To report to those who have been paying...

    Re: I know this is a mandolin forum, but...

    I paid about 1,300+ dollars for the guitar. It was a floor model from a shop in Missouri. Got it off the cafe. They ordinarily go for around 2,000 new.

    Jeff, the neck is a little separated from the body. Here are some pictures that show that a little better. And this is with the string tension gone. There was about twice as much space between the...

    Thanks for the input everyone. I have a feeling that the perp was not a roommate, but maybe someone who they had come over some time. Neither of my roommates have any desire to pick up a guitar...

    So it's probably safe to say that I'm looking at a pretty penny to get her fixed then, eh?

    I am experiencing the demon/angel shoulder duo about how to deal with this, though.

    I hadn't played my guitar since a jam a couple weeks ago, and I went to get it out last night, strummed a chord and realized the action felt a little high, and it was really low out of tune. So I...
