When I went this route, I used D'Addario custom single strings 13,20,30,45. A luthier did the setup ($50) including some nut filing, to accomodate the heavier strings. The result is extramely...

Another approach, one which I have done. Purchase a Blueridge Tenor guitar, change the strings and tuning for GDAE. It will be an octive below your mando, with plenty of volume and sustain. ...

I have an Austin Calton case. I want to add a ToneGuard to my Northfield. I am wondering if I would have problems fitting into the case. Does anyone have any experience with this combination?

I have a Northfield Big Mon, and an Austin made Calton case. I was told the Vintage model of the ToneGuard will fit the mando, but will it still fit in the Calton case. Anybody have any...

A McClung for me on all mandos. The most recent is one with custom inlay. Doug does gret work at a very reasonable price.

Check out Hill Country Stringworks web site. Give Doug a call he does great work, is very reasonably priced and a great guy.

I like the sculpted prime tone, but my favorite is a BC 60 1R. It has one beveled rounded edge and the others are beveled with a point. It is easy to adust from one to another between songs. ...
