Just stick to cowboy chords and don’t look at it.
One key piece of information you left out is the scale length. I had to chime in and say something about the misinformation that’s been spread about J72’s. It’s madness to think that the same string...
I think the true answer to this question is “it depends”. For example, on many a pre-war Martin, well repaired cracks are almost expected. You would be suspicious of such a guitar if it did not have...
Right from the very beginning, when it was announced that Two Old Hippies was “merging” with Weber, I said that this was the beginning of the end for Weber mandolins. They actually called it a...
I would be surprised if the headstock were inlayed. At that price it is likely a thin overlay. If you look at it from the side you will probably be able to see a slight change in thickness. It is...
I think it depends on whether you’re Canadian or not...;)
Maybe you just need more time. Airing it out just one or two days won’t do it. You may need to ait it out for months. But if you can smell it, that means the chemical in question is volatile, and...
I’m surprise no one mentioned Avi Avital’s Kerman mandolin. I think it’s a flat back. Unfortunately I don’t think you can get a new Kerman anymore.
I am happy this solution worked out for you. Any attempt I ever made at humidifying a room in my house has failed. My theory is that in the winter the central heating re-circulates the air in the...
Honestly, I don’t know, but I think maybe your lack of response might be because most of us wouldn't really stress that much over a 5/32” difference in scale length. For me it certainly wouldn’t even...
I don’t know the situation on your side of the country, but over here the local music store is practically begging people to sell, trade, or consign their used stuff just so that they have stock to...
Maybe Gryphon would take them on consignment?
I hate to be a cloud of doom but I wonder how much good it will do to exchange it. Maybe they’re all like that.
Sitka vs Adirondack is a debate that has been hashed over many times, with no real resolution. There are so many variables when it comes to individual tops that is is close to impossible to make...
Maxr that is truly a million dollar idea! People spend huge amounts of money on instruments that have been heavily “relic-ed”, so why not a heavily relic-ed case as well to go with it? Scratches,...
Many thanks to those who replied and recognized that I had my tongue firmly in cheek. :)
Hank’s was my favorite. Of COURSE the case cover should be protected by a hard case!
It kind of makes...
There have been a few posts about cases lately, and they have got me to thinking. I have a million dollar idea, but no capital, so if someone wants to take this and run with it, you have my...
Just to set the record straight, it wasn’t me who first suggested throwing a case down a staircase. It was the OP in post #1.
I am not impressed by the case. It may be very protective but to my eyes it does not look like a “hard case”. More like a glorified gig bag. In their specs they call it a soft/hard case. Or is it a...
You don’t show a picture of the screw on plastic plate on the back of the neck joint. I’m curious about this, even Zeta doesn’t really explain it. They say it’s a bolt on neck. Is the cover to access...
That may be the policy but it doesn’t seem to be consistently enforced.
Yes Jim, that is a great solution. But if it’s a plastic cover I would worry about it warping without the bottom screw to hold it. If I went for a solution like that, and if it were plastic, I would...
Maybe you could get a new truss rod cover, slightly longer so that the screw hole ends up above solid wood? You would have to drill a new hole, very carefully because of the truss rod nut being...
I am sorry to say that I think the problem is in your basic design. I’m thinking that there has to be some kind of wood blocks to support those scrolls, am I right? Those could be acting to dampen...
