No problem at all...As I said, I found them and was wondering what they were. I knew they were F style. Curious as to manufacturer (Gibson, Alverez, Fender...etc.).

I was cleaning out the Man Cave and found these two pick guards and was wondering what I have. Can anyone identify what these are?

I have a good friend that is in need of getting a mandolin set up properly and he lives in Jacksonville, Florida. Can any of you guys recommend a good set up/repair guy? Maybe even a forum member in...

Long Hollow Leather Mandolin "Softy"

Used one for years and the unfinished leather under side keeps it from slipping.

I put one in a Martin D35 I have and it was very easy to do. I installed the K&K Pure Western Mini with the Tapastring Vintage jack. It looks great and works fine but honestly I do not like the 1/8"...

Here's one of those Trutones on the Bay...needs a new home.

First I would call Collings and discuss it with them. It is probably from the finish and they have probably dealt with this in the past and can give you some recommendations...maybe a new case.

I have purchased saddles and bridge pins from Bob Colosi/Custom Guitar Saddles. He also sells blanks for nuts. He can pretty much get you anything you want. He is a nice guy to work with and is very...

SWEEEEET! Thanks Adam...Please put my name in the hat.

Hey axeman...I thought it was very good. I too came from a guitar background (20 years) to mandolin. To me...one of the great things about music is that one can play many different instruments in...

Hey Henry...You didn't say what style of music you play, or are interested in, but if it is Bluegrass check out East Tennessee State University. They have a major in music with a focus on Bluegrass,...

Man!!! What a great looking mandolin. Could someone do a video playing it so that we could hear it?

So...If he got a left handed mandolin and flipped it over and played it right handed would he not be playing a mini bass with double course strings? Unless of course he plays left handed then he...

What I had to do to get it almost perfect was have the treble side just a tad closer than the bass side. By tad I mean barely noticeable. I used the old tune the E and G pairs to full pitch, with the...

Hey Doug...Have you rechecked the intonation at the 12th fret to see how close it is to dead on? I had a similar experience with my Weber Yellowstone and found that the adjustment was part due to the...

Good idea Bernie! I read the "entire" Siminoff article and it was great. I have owned both Flatiron and Gibson F5G and IMHO the Festival and the F5G are basically identical.

It has always been interesting to me how close the old Montana Flatiron Festival is to the Gibson F5G and the Flatiron Artists are to the 90's Gibson F5s. I would like to A/B the Weber Fern and the...

One more thing that just occurred to me. Learning how to play the mandolin definitely made me a better guitar player! Especially with pick technique.

It was easy for me. I got the mandolin bug about 7 years ago and had played guitar (acoustic) for 20+ years. I might get blasted for saying this, but for some reason looking at the mandolin as an...

"Truly...The Final Frontier!"

Hey Happy...Dumb question of the night: Is the double DVD download Lead and Rhythm both DVDs at a combined price? The reason I ask is when I go to the instant access site and click on the "All about...

Back away from that mandolin and put some food in my bowl!

Hey rnjl...One of the things I noticed when I was having this problem was that when I began going to threads mor regular I started getting more emails. Someone above mentioned that and when I started...

I have an original hardback copy of the first volume...University of Missouri Press, 1973. What is it worth?
