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...

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
messed up a post
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?
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...
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)...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Thanks Michael. This weekend I am bringing it in to a luthier I've had do a couple little things for me (re-fret/set-up) in the past named Scott Rohden who owns a place called The Lutherie...
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...
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.

This is the Guild hardshell case that the guitar came with.
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.
Haha. There were definitely no toga parties. At least not that I was invited to.
Yes, it's a steel string dreadnought. A Guild D40 Bluegrass Jubilee model.
I really don't see any other marks anywhere else on it. It might have smacked something in its case when I was loading it in or out of the car, but I really don't think it could anything that would...
Hmm, that's interesting. The case wasn't in the same place as I usually put it. When I got home from traveling with it I had put it in the corner of another room that no one really goes in near the...
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...
