Make sure you keep the original parts, so if you do sell it the new owner can put them back on.

I would think in the $500 range, maybe a bit more or a bit less.
It is not worth $200, maybe $50 at most.
I tried the Straight up strings when they were first announced and knowing Mr. Sminioff's vast experience in the mandolin world, I gave them a try on my Yellowstone. They did not work for my...
Get a luthier who knows how to work on mandolins and have them do a professional setup. That will get you the best bang for the buck.
This why I never look at ebay, except when you folks add to this thread.
I have a set on my Weber Yellowstone, no problems so far. I gave a set A style tuners to Bruce Weber for my two point he is building for me.

Three threads about June Mandolins.

Love the music, just wish I knew what they were sing.
Jimmybikes,
No offense taken. I am a 68 year old guy with a round belly and the Tone-Gard works for me. It is great when we can disagree and still be friends.
Let's not go there.
Very nice playing. I am always amazed how good most of you are, while I still am an advanced noodiler.

Remember extra binding does not equate to better tone.
Uh, Hank
You might want to read your second sentence, It states the Claro Walnut both stayed flat and and bowed at the same time.
I am pretty sure it is the Superman underwear he has on.
Phil,
I don't have an answer for that question. I was just asking to see if any of you have noticed a substantial difference.
Thanks for the replies.
What he uses means nothing to me, as I will never sound like him. I just want a pick that sounds good to me.
Carry on.:grin:
Do most of your mandolins have a Sitka or Red Spruce top? Has anyone tried them on an Engleman topped mandolin?
I have used a TAD 50 for five years and I can see no wear. The other pick I have been using is a Hense 1.4., it makes the tone a little brighter. Not a big fan of the Primetones, at the moment.
Too much for these old eyes. I m leaning towards no inlays in the fretboard.
Br1ck,
I had two vertebrae fused in my neck (C6 and 7) and I was one the lifting limitations like you. Mine lasted three months and even playing the mandolin was painful. It took me six months...
My Yellowstone has some real small inlays and I prefer that to the big dots Gibson uses. I too use the side dots for reference when playing. FYI, I can see a portion of the fretboard as my tummy is a...
Bernie,
I know nothing about this type of repair, but your plan seems to be well thought out. I say go with it. I am sure there will be somebody that knows this kind of repair will chime in.
I would guess which Pro owned it. A mandolin owned by Bill Monroe would bring in the money. Whereas one owned by me, not so much.
