I have a Digitech RP250 which I assume is fairly similar to your RP200. I like it even though I’m sure the newer ones are better. I play an EM200 through the 250 into a Peavy Classic 20 and I’m not...

Happy Birthday to you Mr. Kemnitzer. This 1978 A model (not numbered) was purchased from you by a dear friend of mine When you lived in Nederland, CO. I bought it from my friend in 1981 and it has...

I have an older Dobro type resonator that I had made into a cutaway because that dobro shape makes it difficult to play up past the 10th fret. It’s now a much more functional instrument and has a...

If you want, you can come camp out at my house and check out my F2 three point all you want. I'm in St. Louis, bring that Stiver!

I understand your dilemma. My main player is a Nugget A, but I also gotta have an oval, so I have a pretty beat up F2 for that. Im a big fan of Stiver mandolins, even though I've only played few. I...

I got a compensated aluminum saddle for my EM from Rigel many years ago. It fit right where the posts are so there was no modification necessary. The intonation is perfect with sustain to spare, if...

hey Ryan, I have my 1909 F2 in what looks like the TKL cases they sell at Elderly:

LTD F-Model Mandolin Case
$150.00
IN STOCK
sku: MCLTD-F
Brand: Canadian

It came in that case when I got it...

Chief, glad to see you found what you were looking for, the EM200s are hard to find. I don't think I've seen one under 2K; I have an early 60s EM200 with a compensated aluminum bridge, Price...

There's rarely any mention of a Microvox setup, I'm not sure why. A lot of violinists use them and I have never had an issue with them. They are a lot less bulky than some of the set ups discussed...

Huh? Blues is about tone and groove, of which neither one of those guys captured in that clip. Id call it speed metal grunge, devoid of soul. Not that there's anything wrong with that. They...

I bought an M2 to use for canoe trips and travel, based on suggestions from my luthier regarding durability. I paid $275, which is ridiculously cheap for an instrument that sounds as good as it does....

Short neck yes, but with proper set up an A50 can be a very reasonably priced mandolin for all types of music. The one I have now is a beater, that I put a fossilized ivory bridge on and I would put...

tpeter,
The first decent mando I bought was an A50, back in the late 70's. She was blonde, the only one I've seen, and somehow I let her slip away. I've been wanting another ever since for a travel...

They last way longer for me, and they seem to be a little louder/brighter than most, and seriously, I've tried just about everything out there. I'm not sure why my experience is different from...

I got a sweet deal on a Dobro mando a few years ago and like it a lot for blues and cross picking, but I had a luthier seriously modify it to get it to behave itself. There was intonation issues and...

I haven't heard Forest play live since the old Mid MO Hell Band Days, but I'll tell you that the one thing that has always stuck in my head is that he was, without a doubt, one of the absolute best...

I've had a lot of old Gibsons (all oval holes) over the years and they all had a little sag in the top but they all seemed stable and none of the luthiers I had look at them voiced much concern over...

I had never heard of them untill I got a set or two with my Allen TP. I prefer them now for the Nug, mainly because I can push them harder than regular ph. bronze stings. I need to do this because I...

I'm with mandowilli; I bought a totally beat F2 3 pointer for about half what they usually go for, put a few hundred in it to get it running and, man what a sweet ride she is now. I guess my point is...

LYKN2MYIS,
Yea, I'm there for the most part. I've beem playing mando for over thirty years, most of the time with some sort of group trying to make a few bucks here and there. At least with the kind...

When I do play through an amp I have a 2 channel SS which I play an acoustic and an electric (solid body) into. I preamp both of them; the acoustic goes through an ART preamp while the electric goes...

OK, a more fundemental question for you folks; is it really better for accoustic instruments to go with a solid state or tube amp? I know all about tube amps for electric instruments and I have my...

Dan,
I sent sent a few pics to the archive, I don't have much luck posting here (my camera or operator error, I'm not sure). As you can tell my poor F2 has had a pretty hard life (major nasty...

Keymandoguy,
If you have any electric guitar palyer friends, they'll want to steal it from you, keep an eye on it. Those are classic tube amps, very sweet for overdriven sound at low volumes. You...

Dan,
Thanks for sharing Pokey with us, it's amazing. I have an 06 F2 (7135 on the archive) but it's a blackface with the inlaid pickguard, and waaaaay more beat. I was comparing the carving of top...
