If the pickguard is mounted so there is a free flow of air in and out of the sound hole then it won't affect the main air mode frequency and thus won't affect the sound. What is important is how the...

I'm a fan of these, I got one on my Collings MT, Big Muddy M-11, and most recently bought the rosewood octave armrest for my Eastman MDO305 octave. I'm not sure how new these are but the site says...

While there are a number of very good arm rest makers on this forum, but for me the McClung design is superior in the way it positions your right hand angle over the strings. Everyone is different so...

I really like my newest McClung on my Pava Pro. Doug did a great job with the color and finish.

I should mention that I won Doug's Texas Independence Day giveaway--yahoo, and thanks, Doug!!

Just received the armrest for my Eastman MD504cs and it’s everything people have been raving about in this thread. Such a small thing that makes a big difference.

And just for fun.

I used a McClung with a Tone-Gard on my old Nouveau F5 with no issues, and transferred them to my Northfield when I upgraded– again, the two fit together without any problems. The Northfield doesn't...

I was able fit ToneGards and McClung armrests on all mine. I had to shift the placement a little on a couple but they fit fine.

My McClung is an o.t.p. model. There is no interference with the Tone Gard on my Eastman 515.

If the screws pulled it together, you might try backing them off and see if you can get some glue into the crack, then tighten them back up.

But I had forgotten about that shoulder. It might be...

Screws might improve strength if there is plenty of sound wood to hold them, but dowels will not add strength.
A couple of well placed and well installed screws with counter sunk heads covered by...

I've stared at the picture a dozen times. Definitive way?? Open the back and replace the block. Difficult and invasive.

I don't think there is room to cut the block out of there in pieces and...

Another approach would. be to drill a hole through the top and angle through the crack. Then epoxy in an 1/8" CF dowel. If the crack will close, you should HHG it first and clamp together with...

Is that block mahogany? If I see the photo correctly, that area is perhaps the weakest point in the wood, and mahogany seems to split easily sometimes. I recall Sunburst's post about inserting a...

Could you fill the dovetail either side to make a straight mortice, then cut the dovetail on the neck to a tenon, and then make it a bolt-on? I think this is what John was suggesting. As a mere...

Oh, I see: Your mandolin, your time, valuable to the owner. Spend as much time and effort as you wish, economics are out the window!

Be good to that shoulder, follow the PT advice and heal at your...

You can glue it, but then you essentially end up with a butt joint for the neck because the side grain joint that was originally there is no longer of any particular use. The neck tenon would still...

A solution in search of a problem.

If you don't see everything in your hourly perusal, you might miss something you need or want ;)

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to contact Scott, the site owner, and discuss this with him.

Feel free to discuss the product.

Haven't seen these spectacular Loar style cases, leather covered, discussed here. Have talked to a few Loar owners and top-tier builders who are really impressed with these. Hand-made, leather...

Just to remind everyone this isn't the boys sophomore locker room. There are young people that are members here as well. How about we take this someplace else on the Internet.

I got one of your pick boxes last year from my DH. I love it! I have eight picks in it, and I think it could hold a couple more.
