  1. Re: What are some of the best Mandolins that you all have played?

    A 1924 F4 that belonged to a friend of mine. I helped him sell it, and had it at my house for a few weeks.

    Re: Gibson A-50 (43-CPR 7)

    Take a look at the piece of paper. It looks like it came from the factory "BLK". I've seen a couple of original black A-50's before, so I think that it's original.

    Re: String buzz caused by low nut?

    Thanks for the replies everyone!
    The action is just a hair over 1/16" at the 12the fret, the same as my '19 Gibson. I took it back to my repair person yesterday, and tried to be much more specific...

    String buzz caused by low nut?

    I have a recent Eastman MD 505cc mandolin, and it has an annoying buzz, mostly on the E string, but some on the A as well. It's pretty noticeable from frets 1 through 8, then goes away. I've had the...

    Recording King Fret size

    I'm looking for an inexpensive mandolin to use as an electric 4 string with my vintage Dearmond pickup. The issue I have with a lot of the cheap mandolins is the tiny, barely usable frets. I like...

    Re: Arrow mandolins - how to contact?

    Definitely not one of Paul's mandolins. Yours is a factory-built mandolin made somewhere in Asia.

    Re: Mando (and why to quit callin it that...)g

    I don't think that Fender ever used the term "Mandocaster". The originals from the 50's-60's was just called the "Fender Electric Mandolin", and the more recent import version was called the "Mando...

    Re: Mando (and why to quit callin it that...)g

    I entered a "manalin" contest in Alabama in 1982. That's how everybody there pronounced it, and that's how it was printed in the program.

    Have you tried cleaning and lubricating the originals. Doing that made a big difference with the original tuners on my 1919 A2.

    Re: Dating a Gibson A-50 Mandolin (and info)

    It's a late 30's (I think they made these from '37-'39, but not exactly sure) model A-1. The A-50s from that period had pearl logo and fancy fingerboard inlays. These mandolins had a 14.5" scale,...

    A friend of mine went to a workshop with Frank, and asked him what temperature he baked his mandolins at. Frank just smiled.

    Re: A-00, A-50, or A-1? 1930's?
