  17. Re: Just got a tone-gard a couple days ago

    I've read that Bill Monroe did it that way because he didn't want to take his hat off every time he put his mandolin on or took it off. He was self-conscious about what his hat did to his hair.

    Re: Linda Lou my Gibson

    That's a plain style A with a "snakehead" peghead, built in 1923, and shipped in 1925.
