About $45.

While we are talking about different versions of this, I've always liked this one by Sean Rowe. But yea, tough to top RT's original.

The face downward recommendation comes straight out of the 1923 Gibson Service Handbook.

“When laying instrument down, place face downward, which rests the instrument on strings, thus protecting...

It's the way Gil does it regularly. He says it protects against broken necks and busted pegheads and it's a bit more stable.

... when you play them backwards ...

I heard that Bill's real Loar, not the stand in stunt mando, was packaged and shipped off to Argentina to escape damage. Bill would occasionally reunite with his real Loar when he took "vacations"...

I recall that incident vividly. That was baffling.

Quote of the year!!! :)):crying::))

I agree with many of the others who have written in: if you want to save carrying weight, you are probably better off with a Travelite or Gator or other hard foam case. These are very light, yet...

I love the irony of Flatt being sharp.

Imagine: you buy this thing, book a flight and security make you open the case. To your astonishment, with an expert movement, the officer withdraws the body part from the spliced neck part, extracts...

Well as far as Thile's Loar that he uses most, I've never played that actual mandolin.
That's not the one he's using in the video above.
If the one in this video is the one he bought at mandolin...

Well, this suit fits Porte Wagner darn well, so maybe Nudie was more than bling, too.

PJ- I'm loving my Model M too, funny you mention the smell, I couldn't quite put my uh, finger on it, but you nailed it. No wonder I thought it seemed nostalgic, kind of a sweet varnish smell. It's...

Picking hand or fretting hand?

This is a very interesting and ambitious web project. I wish you best of luck with it!

Most of us who play banjo realize that we can use that finger, but most of us also realize that we don't need to. The only one I know who does it pretty well has a classical guitar background...

I have carefully looked at all the photos shown on ebay and determined this is a real honest to goodness 1973 F5 that has had some minor changes to it. Tuners are original. Serial no. and label are...

Damn good question. I scored a '20's Gibson Mastertone GB-3 guitar-banjo over a decade ago (arch top, ball-bearing type). I wanted a five-string, so I commissioned ace local luthier Bernie Lehmann...

It is very difficult to figure out what the condition is. I would guess this is a No. 1 that was built in the early part of the teens of the last century since the fretboard does not extend across...

Says the guy with a Dudenbostel in his signature! Hahaha...

PJ and John Hamlett: The F2 that John repaired is holding up, plays easy and sounds great!

Hey, it's got 4 more strings than the guitar that sold for $266..thats got to be worth something..:mandosmiley:

fantastic providence that letter though I thought

I use one on my $50.00 Strad-O-Lin as well as my Gibson F5G. Cost has nothing to do with it. Now, if you play without muffling the back against your belly then you don't need a Tonegard. The simple...

(no mando :() Pretty cool pickin; great singin' & whistling !
