That may be my best approach regarding the bridge. Thanks

.

About .010 or .011 at the 8th fret on the G side.

I'm wanting to adjust my action.

My current feeler guage measurements are:

Nut
G .037
D .025
A .015
E .011

Pulled out the old feeler gages and was surprised.

G. Nut .039/.030. 12th. .079
D. Nut. .022/.022. 12th. .079
A. Nut. .019/.019. 12th. .079
E. ...

Pops I'm looking a 2.5/64ths at the nut on the G side and 4.5/64ths at 12 on the G side. I'm not quite sure whether that's fine. To my untrained fingers (on mandolin basically, I do play guitar. )...

I added more pics.

I added more pics Jamie.

Additional pics.

That was my bad Jim. I thought I did. I have to post more pics in the comments.

I acquired this mandolin from a shop in East Tennessee. It was advertised as a Chinese unlabeled prototype. I liked the sound of it when played by someone at the shop who was much better than my...

Thanks rcc. I was hoping it wasn't some off the wall bracing.

Thanks Mike. I'm gonna post some more detailed pics. I'm thinking of replacing the bridge with an adjustable one. This one seems to work and the intonation is pretty spot on but I think I'd like an...

Inside, best as I can see and feel, the soundbars are different. You can see the bass side feels significantly closer to the f hole and the high side is maybe an inch further away from...

Picked this up yesterday from a local instrument shop. Was told it was brought in as a "Chinese made unlabeled prototype" and had a carved spruce top and maple back and sides. In the comments I'll...

This! This is excellent advice.

Thanks. That's about 2 hours also.

I've seen banjo but not mandolin. Thanks.

I live in Murphy NC, about 15/20 minutes from Tenn border. Wondered if there were any get togethers, or even teachers close by. Asheville, Chattanooga and Atlanta are a full 2 hours away so that's...

I went to his site and It said the PEEK material is non longer available.

Anybody know why all my pics, no matter how I rotate them before uploading, all point to the left??

I've tried to rotate pics to no avail.

Well, I took a chance and bought the used Loar LM-400 in the classifieds from Elderly and It arrived today. It was made in May of 2012. After a few hours to settle, opened it and I am very pleased...

I bought it as is after they told me it was currently playable. I'm trusting their reputation. It arrives Monday fedex so I don't have it yet. I've only owned a much cheaper mandolin so I'm not real...

I've purchased a used LM-400 from Elderly (a 2012).

Interestingly, I have found very few if any in-depth reviews. I would have thought that, even if it was not popular, there would be some...

Ditto!

They told me $174 for fret dress and set up. I asked them if it was in good enough playing condition that I could play it for awhile before getting it worked on and they said it was very playable for...

I found this in the classifieds. I'm familiar with Elderly as a reputable dealer. These go for 500-600 when you can still find them on Reverb and such. It needs a fret dressing and new strings but...
