Hey I got kind of an answer for you!

I lived in the Philippines for 7 years where the humidity is close to 100% all the time. The effects I noticed on the guitar I had at the time were: Frets...

Apples and Oranges!!!

What exactly do I mean by that? I have no idea, but seeing as no one has used that infamous phrase yet on this thread I just figured I'd break the ice. :D

Happy Hunting!

I'm not too worried about nut width or price because I've great deals for both. I'm more worried about tone.

How do they compare in that area???

I'm gong back and forth between these 2and i need opinions.

thanks

Classic.

Someone does something productive. Someone shoots them down for not being perfect in every way.

Woah guys. These seems like a "lets bash Almeriastrings party".

Listen everyone he is just being helpful and honest and here everyone is blasting away at him.
Maybe we should just sit back and...

I politely disagree senior Glassweb.

Barney,

I am a college student so to tell you what you want to know I would have to admit to using funds for things other than college/car/plane ticket home. So I'm not admiting anything. ;)

My first bout of MAS struck a week ago and through this wonderful site I bought a used Gibby A-9! which will be here monday.

Thank you mandolin cafe!

Love,
Sam

Hello all.

I am looking for a reputable builder located near the Kansas City Missouri area. Said builder just needs to be in the general area (like 4-5 hours drive).
As most could guess rather...

MMMMMMM... Wowowowo. Me gusta mucho. :) that is one beautiful looking and sounding creature! If it ever mysteriously disappears from your abode you know who to come looking for. ;)

Woah there Mr. Vessel. I've got a lot of respect for you and your mandolins, excellent stuff!
But we don't need to lambaste other builders because of their skill/quality/ingenuity/cost, or even the...

Got my LM 400 today.

Cant stay away from her. In fact she's calling from the bedroom. ;) See you guys later!

P.s. thanks for the advice everybody!
I ended up choosing the LM 400, and it should be here saturday!
Thank you Dennis Vance!!!

Like as in blood sweat and tears resistant or as in I-couldn't-do-the-thing-that-one-strong-man-does-to-a-phone-book? ;)

Thank you Chief Cold Beer Go Cubs. I actually think that was the pat on the back I needed. :) Many thanks to you sir!

So wait... thats 3 to 2 in favor of the Loar...
So I guess my basic question is that am I getting a good deal for the cash either way. Cuz through the mandolin store I'd get the Eastman for 450 and...
