    Re: Yup, Gibson made at least one of everything.

    Re: Mandobird pickup upgrades

    I have four different Almuse pickups: AFM61L, FMC4, MS4, and MB4CTS. And I like the MB4CTS most. It feels most versatile with two different resistances and it is used with a push pull potentiometer....

    Just to be sure, you are all aware that the core wire in mandolin strings is made of steel. It is only the wound part of the strings that can be nickel plated steel, pure nickel, different bronzes,...

    Re: NGD - Fender Mandostrat, Upgrade?

    Have an FM988 and I didn't like the headstock to begin with but after awhile I have started to like it. But what reduce my appreciation is their open tuners. That's not solid body style to me. The...

    Re: New Fender Emando

    But didn't the old ones have a bridge cover? And with that the new ones could have a bridge with individuall adjustment of intonation. Or would that be a drawback?
