Sounds exactly like my experience. I bought a 700 second, sent it off to Steve Smith for a CA bridge, Allen tailpiece, and an excellent setup, and it is a great mando. Does it sound as good as the...

I did notice how the ad writer is not giving the original purchase price but rather adjusting it to today's dollars. Wonder if that will work on my old Buick. I think not. Not saying its not worth...

I was on that cruise last year as well, and got to at least speak for a few moments with most of the artists. Last year they did not stop in Key West, but we extended our vacation after the cruise...

That is true, I have one of the 8 prototypes designed by Greg and built by Bruce. It does not have this problem, and is a great sounding mandolin. I also have a The Loar 700, while it is an OK...

I have a The Loar 700 and also a Weber mandolin, and while The Loar is a great mandolin, the Weber sounds a bit better to my ears, plays easier, and feels more comfortable. That being said, not sure...

Anthology for 50's and later, 16 Gems for the 40's work with Flatt and Scruggs. For about $30 you will have a great representation of music throughout his career. If money is no issue and you want a...

In the heart of the midwest, there is a mandolin mecca. The town has many good players, some good luthiers, at least one great small builder and also is the host for a very cool website! I had...

Have to agree with Mike Bunting on this one. I have James tailpieces on 2 of my mandolins and absolutely love the understated look and the ease of string changes. Expensive yes, but that only hurts...

A good toolbox contains a screwdriver and a wrench, along with a hammer. Know how to use multiple tools makes you better in most things.

Now is the time to do it. If you don't you will wonder about it until you do decide to get it done, and then you are paying twice for setup work. The Loars are great mandolins for the price, with the...

This time nobody watch it.

That's a beauty, congrats!

I have a The Loar 700. It was the best 1400 mandolin my $768 could buy. I also own one of the 8 prototype The Loar's that Bruce Weber built for Greg Rich in the late 90's. It is an awesome mandolin...

It wasn't so bad meeting you in person Journeybear! I even got to briefly noodle with your Gibson! I met Big Joe once as well, he was a great guy too!

I just picked up a The Loar mandolin from Ebay. The sellers said is part of an estate. There was no sticker inside and the seller couldn't tell me what model it is. When I study the pictures on the...
