Re: Anyone compare the cheap Ashton Bailey's that are on Ebay?
I bought two from different vendors. Quality was similar to each other. I never had an actual Ashton Bailey but they look pretty close and were $40 cheaper. I put one on a flat top mandolin I built and was able to change the angle by putting it in a vice and hammering the end (gently) - the metal was soft enough to move without being brittle and cracking. They also needed a little clean up by the string holes using a round needle file. I'd definitely buy them again for that price and purpose.
That being said, I don't really like the Ashton Bailey design- the inner A and D string holes and Posts are near the top and were hard to string.
