You might try a micro fibre cloth in the part you lay the neck in, so you can keep your rest and protect your finish?

An Uber cool awesome machine.
Crusher and hoss, hoss being Sam bush's f5.
As far as I can work out, you’re saying that a four string solid body mandolin is not a mandolin, then you tune your mandolin to a guitar tuning?
Me, myself, personally, I find the eight string...
My Washburn M1 is really an incredible instrument. Much better than its cost would suggest. I also have a Gretsch New Yorker, bought in New York which sounds lovely and plays well, but I probably...

And I forgot the Irish!
The MTV Unplugged movement was the John the Baptist to the messiah of obwat… really it comes at the end…
Bill did that himself. He sent his Loar to Gibson for a service. They took months and when he got it back he wasn’t satisfied. So he thought he’d given them enough free advertising and gouged the...
It can be used in forgeries.
For example
How do you set your amp?
How do you set the effects you use?
What about strings?
Or picks?
Jim richters books are good
Mel bays mandolin beginners is good too
I use the fender amp tuner in the Gt 50 I have. Clip on, I like the boss and the snark.
Is Jeff Cowherd still building? The latest stuff I can see is about from 2020 or so, and the website isn’t terribly active.
Does anyone know what’s happened?
Thanks in advance.
I like wah, envelope filters and overdrive.
Once I saw Sam bush do laps in seven on YouTube, I had to get one. So I got in touch with Ted Eschliman who sold me a JBovier ELS. I love the tones I can get, and it makes me play a bit differently....
It’s interesting, isn’t it? At least 10 iconic instruments - Lloyd loars, the l5 the 400, the Les Paul, the 335, the firebird. Let’s not forget p 90s and paf pickups, plus acoustic instrument...
Victor Wooten says if you make a mistake play it again. He leans into mistakes. And the idea is that you notice it negatively the first time but the second time you’re used to it. And the third time...
I have an Artist 335 style that cost me 300 AUD new. It’s plays really well and the electronics are great. I don’t feel the need for a Gibson.
In broader thoughts has there been a less well...
I had lessons from Mike. Improved my playing infinitely. His style is exactly as it should be. You may have to get used to the sound, like Monroe. But listen to his masterpiece ‘rotten taters'.
...
It is spectacular.
Just speaking generally we live in a golden age of instrument manufacturing so there’s a very good chance that a cheap instrument would sound great. I have a few of them.
What a lovely instrument!
V picks make a really thick pick 8.5 mm. You don’t have to hold it so tightly. Pricey, but you only need one and if it solves your isssue, then I’d venture to suggest it’s worth it?
No...
