If you did this, your banjo would immediately explode, in exasperation.

Surely it's for playing , not looking at ?

The idea of de-damping with a loudspeaker was to turn the volume up to full with nothing playing and lean your instrument against the speaker front to pick up the vibrations.

So no one is prepared to answer eh ?

If it sounds good, why change it, stamped tailpieces have stood Gibsons in good stead for nigh on a hundred years.

Long sleeve T shirts were available a year or so ago, I've got one.

WOW that is one ugly mandolin.

I fitted a soundpost to a Korean A model to prevent the very thin plywood top collapsing due to the pressure of the strings on the bridge, it did not affect the sound one way or the other.

Dave H

It did sell................but it's been re-listed with no explanation. very odd.

Dave H

A good way to find out the truth is to ask the vendor if you win, can you pick up the mandolin in person and hand over the payment in cash.

Oh no, MAS strikes again.

Why did Gibson stop making oval hole ' A ' models ?

Quote from Kevin K " the mandolin is nice too " what mandolin ?

Dave H

I use J74s on my 1917 A, no truss rod no problem, it plays great all the way up the neck.

The Dawg taped over his Gibson logo because as he said, you've come to listen to the music, not stare at the mandolin.

Dave H

Carbon fibre was invented at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough in England, our good friends in the USA saw it's potential sooner than we did and for some unknown reason decided to call it...

David is a very well respected luthier in the UK.

Dave H

Again, anyone know if this is available, and where to get it in the UK ?

Dave H
