I HIGHLY recommend Gail Hester. She is extremely knowledgeable with regards to old Gibsons. She did a bang up job on my A1.

See, I knew someone would come along and straighten me out. Now that I stop and think it is just a plain ol' E in the B part.

I THINK it's A minor. Chords I play are A and E minor, not sure if that's all of 'em but it fits. I am sure more knowledgeable folks will chime in.

I have tried the S&Bs, they were good for a short while then they just kinda died on me. I like the thought of the TIs lasting a long time. They're still going strong on my Breedlove 6 months later,...
Patrick,
Thanks for your response. I am still a bit torn. I think I'll try the mediums at first. I didn't notice any loss in volume on my Breedlove when I swapped out strings. It was new so there...
Want to put a set of TIs on my ol' Gibby but don't know what gauge to go with. It seems the Starks (heavies) would be fine as they seem pretty low tension (I have a set on my Breedlove). But I am...
Brad,
Good on ya! I did "Drunken Sailor" earlier today for my 5 year old.

Have bought two instruments from Dennis. Great guy, exceptional customer service.

Congrats on your new Axe. I don't think you can go wrong when dealing with Dennis at The Mandolin Store. He's a great guy with exceptional customer service and outstanding business ethics.

I'd give Dennis Vance a call at The Mandolin Store (mandolinstore.com). He is a customer service expert, his mandos are set up perfectly and one heck of a nice guy.

Gail Hester is fabulous!

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to the TG (which is an excellent product BTW) you might try a viola shoulder rest. Charley Rapaport turned me on to this a few years ago and it works great...
MC,
I believe the tune from Rodeo is called "Hoedown". You might want to try to search on that. It sounds to me like Copeland took some liberty with Bonaparte's Retreat. Dan's version is pretty...
I've seen the exact pictures before, I don't know if it was Ebay or not, but I've seen em.

Tillmanator,
I think you'll find many people here didn't start improving at age 2. At least you have some musical background to draw on. Many folks here are like me, I am 38 and until a few of...
This post makes me laugh everytime I see it on the main forum page. On my computer it looks like this:

New listing Here BIN is gone and there is still no reserve. I usually don't pay much attention to stuff on Ebay but I am gonna watch this one.
