I have a Weber Gallatin F Wide nut that I want to sell. I don't know where to start as far as pricing. The retail now seems to be higher than when I bought mine a year and a half ago.
It's...
It's my favorite strap ever. It's very comfortable, the perfect width, especially on the shoulder. And it just plain looks great.
Maybe the GT-160-G was the old stock number.
The MF-40-G is listed on their site.

Replied, but I was way off after reading your post again. I thought one was A style, and the other was F style.
I had to look it up, as I had never heard of a JP armrest. It's a permanent addition, so once it's on... it's on, until you pry it off. I read that it can damage the finish when it comes off. I...
Yeah, they're pretty darn good. I have quite a selection, and one I've been using on mando is the 3mm Trias. The 2mm Trias sounds great as well.
Another one that sounds really good is the...
I use ClearTune as well. It's probably the best I've used. I just downloaded the Peterson Strobe app, and it's pretty good. Haven't gotten a chance to mess with it too much. I have the Peterson...
Nope, had no idea who he was. He played a few banjo tunes, and something on fiddle. Great player, and wonderful story teller. Turns out he lives in Chillicothe, Ohio... just 40 or 50 miles south...
I noticed a big difference when I used a ToneRite on my Martin with an Adi top. I played it all of the time, but after a year and a half it just didn't sound like I thought it should. About 4 days...
Went to a workshop and a show later that night. It was a John Hartford Tribute show: Mike Compton, Paul Brown, Tony Ellis, and Adam Schlenker (my guitar teacher). They all played individually solo...

I think it varies for each person. I think the grip-ability of Blue Chips is terrible. Way too slippery for me.
I've had to use a piece of 800 grit sandpaper on my other picks for better...
I just checked on the Gibson Sam Bush strings, which I've tried. Gibson's description is monel over steel. I've tried several nickel plated, and didn't like any of them. I'm hooked on 80/20 at the...
I used to use BlueChip, but I don't like the fact that they don't 'wear'. They're too slippery for my taste.
I had a guy in Holland, who makes picks for primarily Gypsy Jazz players, make me...
After reading this post yesterday I decided to give the 80/20 a try again. I had a couple sets left from when I was trying out strings, Martin 80/20 Bluegrass. I couldn't believe how much better my...
I used the new tuners with the old bushings and they work just fine. So I wouldn't think that the holes in the peg head were off.
The new ones are Grovers as well. They're just all nickel...
I feel it was definitely the black matte finish that was the issue. Even with no strings on they still weren't all that smooth, even after loosening the gears and some TriFlow.
I ordered new...
Good to know. They look great, but the function is poor. I think I might just replace them with the nickel. It would be nice to tune without frustration.
Thanks for your input, George. I...
Does anyone else have these Grover tuners with black matte finish? They're on my Weber Yellowstone, and they're quite bothersome. Really stiff, not smooth at all. I loosened the gears just a hair...
I think you'll have much better luck with it working, since the top edge is bound on your Bitterroot. Gives it at least one edge for it to sit flush.
I had the same issue with my Weber Gallatin-F. It's not bound on the back or front, and very rounded on both edges. Doug sent me a new arm with a longer wood attachment that he fabricated with...
I use the Trias pretty much exclusively, the 1.5mm and 2.0mm. It's a great material. He has a new material in ivory color that's beautiful. Just ordered some, but they haven't arrived yet.
I had some custom picks made by a guy in Holland. They're made of cotton fiber. Best material I've used, and will keep on using. He added these to his normal line of picks. I own 5 of these :)

I use a technique for flatpicking that I also apply to mandolin. When I feel my fingertips resting in my palm, and keep my thumb joints relaxed and straight, I'm able to keep everything relaxed:...
