    Re: Removing Northfield Pickguard

    Yup it's that simple and you may be over thinking it. Just be careful not to slip and gouge with the screwdriver. I take mine off and put it back on occasionally.

    Re: Mandolin stands

    Just ordered a Hercules uke stand (UKS 100B). Quite a bit smaller than the guitar version especially with the smaller tripod footprint making easier placement up off the floor on window benches and...

  6. Re: Peghead Nation - Monroe Style or Intermediate Bluegrass cours

    Can’t speak to Mike Compton’s class as I haven’t taken it but Sharon’s Intermediate class was great, learned some great tunes. She’s got some good tips for playing with a relaxed left and right hand...
  7. Re: D'Addario's new Chris Thile signature mandolin

    I think the 1.4mm version gives the designer picks even stiffer competition than the 1.3mm. :grin:

    Sorry, couldn’t resist that.

    Phoenix Fit Heirloom Recurve Case?

    Has anyone tried to fit a Phoenix mando to a Northfield Recurve case? Mine is a Bluegrass Master Model but I think the other models are likely the same size. It’s after hours here or I’d call the...

    I've been a casual fan of Prairie Home for years but now find myself planning my Saturday around being home for the broadcast and skipping out on events that interfere. Couldn't be happier with the...

    Re: Prairie Home Companion reviews

    Loved the live stream show tonight. As a long time fan of Prairie Home I think Chris Thile is a great choice as host. Not a replacement for Garrison mind you, who could do that? But instead a...

    Re: Just Got a New Northfield M: It's Fantastic

    Did you get the optional case too? Just wondering what they're like.
    Glad you like the mando... I'm considering one myself.

    Re: Difference between early Flatiron A models:

    Yes, they're still tone bar braced. Don't know whether there are any other differences between the '90 and earlier models.

    Re: Difference between early Flatiron A models:

    Just bought a '90 A5 Jr. It has MOP logo as opposed to decal. Interesting that these post Gibson models upgraded to MOP. Love the tasteful brown sunburst top on this one and really like the tone.
