    Re: Old Gibson needs fixin'

    I'm not totally sure how playable this one is. It looks like it's seen more than its share of moisture over a long period of time. As far as original goes, I don't have a problem with changed parts....

    Re: MOTS fingerboard, unknown model

    Harmony was building some nice instruments back then. They were competing as a musical instrument rather than the commodity they became. I seriously doubt they had anyone on staff that was concerned...
  3. Re: type of mandolins played in Colonial America

    I'm old but wasn't yet born in the 1700's but I admire your interest in keeping it real. :)

    I'd probably grab a bowlback with no brand name on it just for the look.

    Re: Regal Le Domino Mandolin C.1933

    I missed out on owning a Le Domino uke. My step-father owned it and I took the teens Martin uke instead. It was like the dark ones on this site. The original Stewarts.

    Re: Old Gibson needs fixin'

    Yeah, well. I didn't stop buying and selling because I was getting beat at the end and I certainly wish I was more familiar with this technology stuff. It simply escapes me. :cool:
  6. Re: 1989 Gibson F5-L ‘Custom Shop’ Jim Triggs

    You have to understand how the Gibson Custom shop worked in the days of Jim Triggs and Greg Rich.
  7. Re: Stephen Perry updates, shop running again, located N. Va.

    I think they just didn't look at the date. I posted because (I'm assuming) Steve lost control of his websites. One is now wrapped in Chinese characters and the other has a warning that it may contain...

    At some point a few months back some system someplace replicated some bad DNS information. It wasn't available in some places but was available elsewhere. This happens now and again. Hopefully Paul's...

    Re: Other branded Martin Mandolins

    Ditson also sold instruments made by other builders. Post a picture.

    If it has a Martin serial number make sure you compare it to the Martin mandolin serial numbers and not the guitar serial...

    Re: Gibson A-50 (43-CPR 7)

    I believe the finish is original as it is mentioned on the hangtag. Stewmac sells replacement Kluson A style tuners with black buttons. I don't know if anyone is selling them with white buttons. A...
  12. Re: What have I got here-is this old mandolihomemade or by a buil

    It looks to be like it started life as either an Oscar Schmidt or United product (same company pretty much) that has been stripped and abused. It might even have been a second. As far as value, not...

    The best advice I ever heard on this subject came from Big Joe Vest. He basically said that if you would be uncomfortable sitting in the place where you are leaving your instrument that the...
  15. Re: Mandolin case for a Martin Style C mandolin

    First things first, hang on to that case if it actually fits this mandolin. These cases do come up for sale now and again but they are rare. The last one I recall was several years ago and the person...

    Re: A Jr- Interesting Wood Grain

    The top looked like a three-piece or at least a two-piece with an offset seam to me as well. Honestly I would have expected them to bury that one on a black top.

    Re: Old instruments and Mold spore load

    Many people have tried closing the instrument up in a closed container like a box and using an ozone machine. I'd be judicious in the use and run it for a limited time each day for several days...
