Bluegrass today just released a statement saying Jesse McReynolds is under hospice care and isn’t expected to live much longer.
Sad news, one of the greats to say the least, that just leaves Bobby...
I am not a jazz chord expert, I was trained in and taught AP Music Theory, the curriculum of which is focused on what most would consider "classical" harmony and the "AP test." I've had people tell...
Oh my oh me!
Gonna feel a lot different from a Harmony original, since those have floating bridges. But you can't deny that this is a looker.
Hah! I though this was another thread about an avant garde band!
Well, well, well ... Ain't that a sight for sore eyes!

Stainless steel frets leveled, crowned, and polished. I think we are ready for some hardware here!

R0gue,
The key difference here is that no other carbon fiber builds include the complex three dimensional graduations of material which I have created during the development of my "Cold Forging"...
After more than a decade of doing French Polished finishes, the learning curve for getting an excellent sprayed clear coat on these Kevlar/Carbon Sprites has been quite steep. Finally, I'm...
Hi guys, this is Ian, the head luthier at KLOS Guitars. Thanks for all your comments and support. I was planing on making the mandolin a traditional A style, with a 12" radius fretboard, and a nut...
Seeing that you can get pickups as an add-on option on their guitars and ukuleles with multiple options for pickups, I think it's likely they would give you that option on these too.
Michael Kelly at one time was the economical mandolin du jour. Their products were a great place for a person to start their mandolin journey or if their economic situation was tight to do their...
I know how you feel about the pickup on the Eastman vs the pickups on the Eastwood S. I have an Arrow G5 that cost more than 5 times my JBovier FMC 5. Between the hollow body and the single Kent...
My views on electric mando playing are probably contradictory to so-called "norm" on the topic. (I will exempt the electric Tiny Moore, jazz archtop hollow-body guitar style of playing, from my...
Christmas brought this very good boy a new set of Grover 409 tuners.
I have had my 2016 Eastman 515 for over two years now and I have no major complaints about the tuners that came with them...
I've played around with 4, 5 and 8-string electrics, and they just do different things. My favorite, without question, is a 5-string octave semi-hollow, that I built basically as a scaled down...
David, I think the phrase you're looking for is "that ain't no part of nothin'."
But Bill was just translating Kohelet: גַּם־זֶ֥ה הֶ֖בֶל וּרְע֥וּת רֽוּחַ׃
Put 409's on my 615 last month. Big improvement.
Yes Grovers are a great bargain. I've put 309s on several of my A style builds and they are nearly as smooth and predictable as Rubners. If only they had replaceable knobs or at least other options....
If you invest in another tuner, I would recommend a TC polytune, especially for tuning mandolins. It nails the pitch instantly and is very accurate- helpful for getting both strings in a pair in tune...
Rick and I butted heads on a number of occasions and I'm a better builder for it.
Whatever Doug says; you can take to the bank!
Armrest and Tone-Gard is the best combination for volume and tone
Bose S-1 Pro is the way to go! I use two with a ToneMatch and they are great! NO issue with max volume, lots of headroom.
