I've seen several comments about it abrading the back of your mandolin while playing. To be clear, the whole thing is made of painted basswood, even the frets. I'm pretty sure the back of almost any...
Ha! I thought this would get some comments here!
I made it as a lark, but liked it so decided to test the waters for potential sales. It's all wood but on a cloth backing. It's jointed at several...
Hello all. I just finished converting a Yamaha Jr. 3/4 size six string guitar into a tenor resonator and am pretty happy with the results.
The PeeWee Peach Orchard Owl is equipped with a National...

I’ve purchased straps for several of my instruments from Tremolo Leather Company’s ETSY site. She’s got a bunch of different styles, some made from vintage ribbon she finds and some that...
Very nice! Congrats!
It looks like it was removed from Facebook Marketplace. Either he got his $25,000 and is rolling giddily around in the cash, or others told him the same thing.
For those who are interested, it was...
I messaged him very politely explaining what he had and what they typically sell for. I told him what I had paid recently for my teens A-1's ($675 and $550). I even gave him the link to Mandolin Cafe...
You have obviously never met my wife
After stupidly selling my Blueridge BT-40 a few years ago due to scale length issues, I realized I'd like to give tenor guitar another try. I didn't want to spend much $ in case I decided again that...

I couldn't justify the price, but it's a cool piece of history!
I bet it doesn't sound crappie!
No, I daubed acrylic craft paint in various colors (red, yellow, brown, and black) on the underside of the plexiglass. Then I scraped and sanded some off to create a window for the photo to show...
I bought a beaten and cracked 1917 A1 a couple weeks ago to fix up, and wanted to have a pick guard on it. I wanted the guard to look vintage, but didn't want to spend the $ on one. I'm cheap.
I...
Last May I had the same idea, but I wanted them to resemble Handel tuner buttons. I carved one out of maple and wood burned the "inlay" into it. I haven't pursued the idea further. I think if you...
Oh, this thread title! I'm holding my breath for the responses.:popcorn:
I guess next time you sing "Footprints in the Snow", you can substitute these lyrics: "I bless that happy day, when Nelly came my way, in a box that looked so beaten all around".:redface:
You should check out the GIG (Gallery of Iconic Guitars) museum at Belmont University in Nashville. They have a lot of really cool vintage instruments to look at including a couple of Lloyd Loar...
Absolutely beautiful! I'm very jealous
I'll also recommend the Gallery of Iconic Guitars, or GIG, at Belmont University. A guy donated his 5 million dollar collection to Belmont. The exhibit includes several Lloyd Loar mandolins, as...
I'd like to have one of the $3.50 mandolins it advertises!
That's a good point. Another thing to consider is that Charmzilla is looking for a starter F style mando around $400. Although we know that a solid wood one sounds better, perhaps she (or he) might...
There's also this Mid Missouri M1 on Nashville Craigslist for $200

I agree with colorado al's reply above. Lot's of great stuff...
Yes, but his left leg/foot are still in the pic and cast no shadow either
Enjoying some time off around Baltimore and came across this beer. I like the EVO fret wire on my Tyler White mandolin, so I had to try this. I like the beer too!
