    Re: An open letter to Classifieds users

    In my opinion, it is not up to you to "police" the behavior of a seller. When in doubt, you can make a donation.

    Think of it as paying it forward or a tip for a job well done.

    Re: Old Gibson needs fixin'

    My mention of missing original parts was merely as reference to their replacement value, if you choose to hunt them down. The seller is a "parts robber" and all his listings are original vintage...

    Re: Old Gibson needs fixin'

    Yep, ended at $585 plus $38 shipping plus tax. Someone will have over $600 in this before the first repair is attempted.

    My logic is, "how much is a nice one?" Then, you subract the cost of the...

    Re: Regal Le Domino Mandolin C.1933

    No, mine was all black. Don't be fooled by "today's asking prices," in my opinion they are worth $200-250 max and only as a wall-hanger, at that. BUT, more power to prices fueled by internet fads...

    Re: Regal Le Domino Mandolin C.1933

    20 years ago I had a Le Domino Big Boy guitar that I picked up for $60 at a music store. It was cool looking, but nothing special as a guitar. A NYC dealer offered me $800 and I sold it a week...

    There is a guarantee for success in bidding, simply enter your maximum bid and forget it. eBay will bid for you by proxy, until your max is reached. All the while, others who bid are causing your...

    I think these are collected for the coolness factor :cool:, more than the sound. Same with stenciled cowboy/novelty guitars and ukes.

    Re: Aged-tone?

    Many acoustic instruments are made with wood that is still technically, "wet." (and heavy)

    Could aged tone be wood that is less wet?

    Like Mike, I usually place my bid in the last 7 or so seconds, with the bid preloaded. Usually works, sometimes I still get outbid by proxy bidding, but only by someone willing to beat my max bid. ...

    Re: Is this good for braces?

    Good points, and sure, there is a science to it all, but the question, for me, is can you hear it?

    As a matter of practice, we are taught if you use the best materials you get the best results,...

    Re: Gibson's 1923 F-5 Master Model Reissue

    An old guy who taught me a few things always had a hot pot of glue on his countertop. I couldn't help but ask, "so you use hot hide glue for all repairs?" He said, "no, that's just what the...

    I assume this is a joke -- otherwise it infuriates me to think someone actually strapped a vintage D28 on his back while skiing?!! Mandolin is bad enough, a D28 is huge!

    Same here, unfortunately. 20 years ago, we had a shoe repair shop, luggage shop, and tailor within a block of here. Now, they are all gone -- as well as an old fashioned hardware that still cut...
