No longer taking orders, except from my recently retired lovely wife, but I dig those old oval hole designs updated with x braced Engelmann and radiuses boards. No woods seasoned more than 40 years...

Maybe it would sound great, maybe awful. We have no way of knowing whether it sounded any good before the accident.
Observe the damage around the soundhole, the ribs coming loose at the...
For recording, any closed back phones with impedance =< 80Ω are generally going to be fine with any basic interface. You can spend a little or a lot, but specifically for *tracking* all you need is...

Yep, I don't see the fiberglass ones available. But even the Eastman plywood case that came with my MD515 works with the shorter neck. The tuners are clear of the accessory compartment, the neck...

It’s amazing how the human brain adapts to different sizes. Although I prefer a wider nut, a narrow doesn’t bother me, and I can adapt very easily. There are times when I play one of my mandos then...
As a violinist a voice in the back of my head wants to say I prefer a narrower nut, but in reality I think I'm happy to play and adapt to any nut width.
