When Della Mae came to the Palms in Winters, CA a year or so ago, she was playing a Randy Wood. I only know because I asked 😊

Another regular ASD user here. I love that app and for $10 it's a great bargain. My only frustration has sometimes been importing songs. Seemed that I either had to buy from iTunes, load a song into...

Just a quick follow up. I was able to make an appointment to drop my F5 off with Michael Lewis near Lake of the Pines in Auburn/Grass Valley, and I picked it back up yesterday. Michael is an amazing...

I have a call in to Michael Lewis and spoke to a very nice woman (Mrs Lewis??) who said he is semi retired. I'm hoping he will still be willing to do a small job. I'll report back.

I have the CT55, a smaller BC, some Wegens, and a Red Bear. On mando, they can all sound great but the thing I love about the BCs is the way they kind of stick to your fingers and allow a relaxed...

Scott, thank you for all your work here. I am very grateful for this resource. As a beginner I have posted infrequently, not yet sold anything, but I visit daily and I have learned more than a...

Awesome, thanks for the great recommendations!

Anybody know of a good luthier in the Sacramento area? I live in Folsom and have had Nicholson's do some work but they're really more about guitars and violins. I'm interested in having my F5L...

All I can say is that I have a dozen electric guitars with radii between 7.5 and 12" and I don't notice any difference when strumming.

Great thread; thanks for the history lesson! It appears to confirm Jeff Mando's guess as well, and it definitely looks like Larry's signature. I Googled him and learned he was -- maybe still is --...

This makes total sense. The fretboard is just one element of many that contributes to how a neck feels in a given person's hands. Neck shape, nut width, fullness of the neck, and fret size would...

Does anybody know who was working on these F5Ls back in 1994 in Bozeman and might have signed my F5L? I'll try to post a pic, but I thought I'd go ahead and ask since it sounds like there may not...

I have played guitar for decades. As I think about it, I probably sweeten the tuning a bit without even thinking about it, or my ears have grown to accept the slight dissonance. Is it more...

Thanks all. I was so happy to find this thread. Thiught I was going crazy!

I actually tried by passing the Venue and going straight into the AG 300 and the tone was better. I'm going to try that at the next practice and see how it sounds with the band. thanks again...

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that volume was the issue. Volume is more than ample, I'm just struggling to get a tone I like. From your experiences, I'm feeling like I probably need to spend some...

I'm having trouble getting a decent amplified sound and would welcome any advice or experience you might have. I've played bluegrass guitar for decades and took up mando a couple of years ago. I...

BTW, Bruce is a super nice guy. And Bret, he had the highest praise for you and your work. Best of luck in your new endeavor.

Yes, this was one that got away. I actually talked with Bruce Weber at length about this Fern earlier this week. Based on that Celtic knot on the back of the neck, Bruce confirmed that Bret had done...

I was just up at the Grass Valley Bluegrass festival yesterday and spent some talking with Austin and playing the two F5s he had with him. I just have to say what a pleasure it was to meet him and...
