Recently the strap button on my 5 year old Sam Bush model Gibson has been coming loose and falling out at times. Any suggestions on how I can secure the end pin?
Thanks.

Thanks to all for the great suggestions. I was out of pocket for a few days and just now checked this thread. I normally wear the strap around my neck. With my current strap, I feel like the...
Does anyone know where you can buy longer leather mandolin straps for an F5? I've bought several in stores and the longest I've found are 42". Looking for something longer.
Thanks.
Thanks TonyP. Do you have any contact information for Paul? I can't find a website. Phone number? email?
Looking for information on Paul Newson mandolins. Any feedback from owners or those who have played them would be appreciated. I'm particularly interested in his F style mandos.
Thanks.
Shopping around for a good mandolin in the $4K to $10K range. Specifically F styles. I'm currently a Gibson F5G custom owner but, interested in other models.
Collings and Nuggets come to mind. ...
I'm currently using a K&K Pure XLR Preamp with a K&K Twin Fusion pickup in my Gibson F5G. I like the sound. No real issues. I've been told that the LR Baggs Venue DI is more versatile and offers...
Thanks to all for the feedback/discussion. That's what I love about the Mandolin Cafe. Good folks. I think my next plan of action will be to check out the GHS A270 PB's or Silk and Bronze then...
Mike, I'm currently playing a Gibson F5G custom.
I'm sure there have been previous forum threads about this topic. I've used D'Addario J74's for quite sometime. I recently tried a set of EXP74 Phosphor Bronze mediums. They are fairly bright. ...
I used the Wegen M150's for about 3 years. Started using a Golden Gate here and there. Recently gave in to the Blue Chip craze. Bought an SR60 and TAD1R-50. Love them. They have a great feel,...
I bought the Bobelock rectangular case this past week. I've looked at a lot of cases and this one is the real deal for the price. My F5 Custom fits perfectly in there. Bobelock has spared no...
I've spoken with a local violin shop that deals with Bobelock cases. They are very impressed with the quality and construction of their violin cases. I've had them order a Bobelock rectangular...
I was not familiar with either the Bobelock or Concord cases. I live just 50 miles away from the Concord Case Company. I may try to stop by their facilities. Thanks for the suggestions. Cheers.
Thanks for the responses. Just another thing for us mandolin players to mess with. Our cases. :)
Good questions. I can't find any other pictures showing the neck support or headstock room. I'm hoping that a current owner could comment.
I wanted to know if anyone has used the Saga Superior Deluxe Mandolin Case Model CS-1520 and can comment on the quality of it. I like the retro look of the olive green cotton duck cover but, want to...
Are you talking about the K&K pure mini, formerly Pure Western Mini? So it gives you a good natural acoustic sound? thanks.
I have a wonderful older Martin D28 with no pick up. It has a beautiful acoustic sound and I don't want to install a pick up. I'm looking for suggestions on the best guitar pick up out there for...
I'm looking for suggestions on the best fitting cases for a Gibson F-5G. The case I have now has the furry type lining and there is a fairly significant gap that allows the mando to slide around a...
I need to remove the tailpiece cover from my Gibson F-5G Custom to replace a broken string. I just bought this mando and the tailpiece cover seems to be really on there. I don't want to break...
Can anyone help a newcomer to the mandolin market understand nut widths? Can you list the most common widths from most narrow to the widest? I have long fingers and have played a 1 3/16". I'm...
Thanks for the tip. I was not familiar with the Ken Ratcliff instruments. I will check out his website. There are definitely alot of choices out there.
Being new to the Mandolin Cafe, I can tell that this audience is passionate about their mandolins. That is a good thing. Thanks for the input and videos. Since I'm already familiar with the...
Thanks for your feedback. I've heard many good things about the Weber. My current teacher plays a Weber and it sounds great. My problem is there aren't any stores in my area that have a good...
