Thats a clear option. I just see that people w pearl nuts move to bone, even on stuff like old Gibsons.
- Fill slots
- Cut other slots lower
- Replace with bone nut
- Replace with new pearl nut

I could lower the rest. That is an option.
I have a kentucky 1050 and the G string slots are lower than the rest of the slots. It drives me crazy but isnt an issue. I want to get it fixed though. I am considering just having a bone nut...
I own a km1050 and played a well worn in 515 this week and it made me interested in eastman mandolins. It had a good sound but playability was nice. I did own a loar but not a 600. I think it was...
What is the abuse and theft that was happening with kid content?
Im confused. You guys are saying you can make your channel MADE FOR or NOT MADE FOR KIDS. But I get the option when I upload. So far, I havent clicked either box and I have uploaded just fine. My...
These are what I mentioned. I only use the 4000 grit dark grey. It works great for polishing. And at 4000 grit I dont have to worry about messing anything up. I do this on every string change...
Steel wool has always created more mess for me so I avoid it. I use the fret erasers (I think this is what they are called). Before Ive use gargomyte (spelling this wrong). And I use a fretboard...
I have a D2h acoustic and owned a D1T and they have always been great and quick with any questions. Customer service is worth something to me and Id happily pay extra knowing Id have it.
I own a KM 1050 and I like it a lot. I am not an advanced player because I play guitar but I wanted to learn mandolin. Started with a Loar and decided to just get a really good mid level mandolin. ...
I am looking for a new string. I was actually looking for a 10.5 gauge and came across the ghs nickel strings. I bought nb for my acoustic but haven’t used them yet so I really don’t have a...
Just out of curiosity can anyone measure there fret size on a 1000 and 1500? I assume same frets but I am curious about height and width. And it would be nice to have that in this thread for...
Got the Kentucky 1050 back this week from the tech for a full setup. What a difference it made. This is now a complete mandolin that I am 100% happy with play ability and sound. I am finding that...
Well the 1050 is a significant upgrade in tone and projection but it just doesn’t feel right yet. I am fighting it. Taking to another guy for a setup this week. But I made a clip. This was literally...
Yes but my loar is 13 3/4
Is the difference in scale length 13 7/8 vs 13 3/4 large? I assume it cant be but with an instrument this size it might play a bigger role than I think. I am asking in terms of tension and...
I forgot the 1500 has a radius board. I know it has the smaller frets though. Wish I could play these along with some eastmans side by side.
Thanks. Since you handle all of these mandolins Id like to ask what the fret size difference is between the 1050 and loar 520? I have my measurements but I dont know if those are consistent or...
I know the difference for the 1050 and its more modern and I own one. What I am wondering is what the differences are in terms of sound between the 1050 and the 1500? I guess it would be fair to...
Same strings. I have tried elixir strings and like them but they don’t fix the stuff issue.
But width is the same on both.
Scale length is a touch different. This is 13 7/8 vs 13 3/4. Now I...
I got a new to me mandolin and it’s just stiff. It’s setup the way my other is but I just have to press harder than normal to get the notes out of it. I’ve tried lowering the action, adjusting the...
Thanks guys. It needs some fret work but seems to be worth it.
Looking for what market value is on a Kentucky 1050. Used, condition has a few smaller dings on the top and one on under the head stock where the G tuner is. Sounds good, plays well. Frets have a...
Are you in cleveland?
If you are buying a new/used mandolin, what should you look for? With acoustics, string height, saddle height, nut, neck angle are things (neck angle the most important). But with a mandolin what...
