It's always worth a look.
Just my thoughts, but I wouldn't put a copy of anything in any of my old Gibson's. if they're damaged at least you have half a chance on resale. If it's a copy then they may think the whole mandolin...
I normally ask 2 thirds of the new price, yours would be easy to work out but I think to get one buyer to purchase both together you'd have to lower the prices a bit more.
Use a short piece of copper wire from what we in the UK call twin and earth and fasten a little Blutack or gum to the end and push the wire through the F hole so as to stick it to the pick and then...
I used Blutack on a piece of wire to get a pick out of my F hole mandolin, chewing gum would so a similar job.
I've got a picture of me writing right handed but I defiantly write and play left handed, I then realised the negative was upside down which reversed the image.
He is actually right handed but plays for some reason as a lefty.
Those tuners don't look to be off an A1, they look more like they should be on a Junior but still a great price.
I play a Fylde Touchstone and it has a slightly longer neck than most mandolins and a wider nut as well.
That certainly wouldn't slide off you knee!
Did you get a deposit off them in the first place, if so then the deposit and mandolin are now yours.
Thank you all.
Is there an app for M/C available for Android phones?
Hi. I have an old Gibson Army/Navy from the early 1900s but the finish is definitely wax. I know this because I can carefully scratch the finish off with my nail.
I was wondering how to remove this...
Don't the Kentucky have a flat finger board the Eastman is radiused?
I have but not got a reply as yet.
I'd fit in with this band quite well.
And not forgetting that at $6000 everything is negotiable.
Ivan, I've been there with a cancer scare, and believe me carrying on with little change to your life is very difficult.
One thing I did find was to keep in touch with people who really matter, and...
A piece of dashboard rubber helps and you don't need to fasten it or stick it. This is the sort of rubber you lay on your dashboard to stop things sliding around.
I'm stuck for words my friend. I hope the diagnosis is incorrect and we still get the pleasure of your banter here on M/C.
My best wishes to you and yours at this uncertain time. Peter (G7MOF)
I didn't want this to be a left/right handed debate, but, if I had developed the first of anything I would have made the first one a lefty so I could use it!
I heard today that Orville Gibson was left handed, is this true, and would his prototypes have been lefties?
Excellent musicianship but I couldn't watch her for long!
