Re: New jbovier lefty f5 tradition
Hey, Jason, I just got my lefty A5 from Jeff the other day. Do you still have your F5? How has it aged?

The last time Jason was online was October 24, 2017. I don't know if he's still reading the cafe or not.
Re: New jbovier lefty f5 tradition
My A5-L came in a week or so ago. The action was low, and the g string buzzed a bit. I called up Jeff, and he told me that the bridge on the bass side needed to be raised. He instructed me how to do it, and after I did that, no more buzzing.
It's very easy to play. Even my fat fingers can get around nicely. Being a guitar and bass player all my life, I found the combo v- and c- neck profile to be at first strange (try playing a 6-string bass and then pick up a mandolin!), but I find that after playing it on a daily basis, it's getting more and more comfortable.
The tone is very nice. The volume is there already. And of course, the more I play it, the more it will open up.
I'm pleased with my decision to purchase the JBovier, and look forward to many years of enjoyment.
