    Re: A Loar on Craigslist? Yes sir!

    I thing the whole thing is somewhat suspect. The headstock looks wrong for a Loar or for 198317Wayne Henderson’s work. The point of the binding doesn’t come around enough in a manner that would...
  3. Re: Gibson Master Model vs Custom Master Model - advice please

    To succinctly answer your questions:

    No, I would not buy it. It sounds like an oddball instrument.
    The market for a “proper” Master Model would be much more efficient should you decide to sell.

    Re: Playing rhythm with a stiff pick?

    Keep a loose grip on the pick. It should be able to move against the string. A “death grip” will surely prevent fluid articulation in your rhythm.

    Re: Tortoise shell pick alternative

    Blue Chips are great in their own right, but they are not direct TS substitutes.

    For a synthetic material, Ultex is your best bet. I like the Dunlop Primetones.

    Re: Should Bryan Kimsey scallop my guitar?

    To me, the scalloped guitar may sound a bit more open for chording.
    But the un-scalloped guitar has better clarity, definition, and over-all “punchiness”.

    John Paganoni was one of the earliest builders to copy a Loar. However, he always insisted on placing his own name on the headstock.

    This is his #2, built over 50 years ago.

    Re: Damage to Loar A5???

    I think that’s from having a strap looped underneath the fingerboard extension.
    What else are you gonna do? That little guy doesn’t have a proper strap hanger.

    Re: How much would Monroe’s mandolin be worth

    The '23 "Drunk Loar" has been offered at 75,000 for years. No one has paid it yet. So, the price would be somewhat less than that.
