Shout Out to Skip Kelley

[AlanN]

My Gilchrist needed a new nut. After 19 years of regular play and string changes, some of the slots had deepened, to the point of string buzz and a failure of the nut's glue fix to the neck.

I contacted Skip, we met in between our homes last Saturday to deliver the mandolin. Yesterday, I picked it up. He replaced the pearl nut with a sharp-looking, cream-colored bone one that is perfectly slotted and set up for use. Just a fantastic job - quick, quality work/materials and the right price. I also got to briefly pick on a brand-new A model he was delivering to mando mutt for sale. What a great-sounding, dreamy A model Skip builds!

Once again, a satisfied customer...thanks, brother!

Skip is the man. I think that A is already sold.

[Skip Kelley]

Alan, thanks for the kind words, buddy! It is always a treat to see you!

Mark, thanks a lot! I'll be seeing you soon!

Got to see that work first hand last weekend, very nice on the Gil.

Skip, lots of great compliments again this year at the Bibey camp on my F5 (#54). It's definitely time for a check up though which I have procrastinated for a few months! As soon as I can get my backup mando back from a student, I'll set something up with you.
