I was told mine dates back in the 80’s.
If this set were all nickel I’d probably pull the trigger
I have a set of Gibson satin nickel tuners that I’m fixing to put on my 2010 KM 1000.
Also glad to see I’m not the only one putting a Kentucky in a calton case. My 1000 has no problem holding its...
I’ve been dabbling in making my own for many years now. Most of the popular straps out there I have at one time or another owned and all were great. I just choose to make my own. This particular one...
I’ve made many over the years, I just love doing it. I’ll try to post a pic of the one I made that I’ve been using for many years. ~o)
Mine is dark gray exterior pink interior #5577
Hello Joe It's Stephen. It's been quite sometime since we've talked. I was also under the impression that weather it be shaped or rectangle the cases were the same size. I hate hearing that because I...
I've not read any of the response's here regarding the question so forgive me as the answer I'm sure is in here somewhere. (or at least everyone's opinion anyways).
The cafe seems to always be...
I have these very tuners I bought off ebay about 6-8 mths ago. The guy said he was switching over to waverlies. I knew right off the bat they were great tuners. I also wasn't 100% sure so I...
These tuners are beautiful!!!:)
Well not me. I went from Un-scooped to scooped to still clicking away. I'm contemplating going Bush style and have it cut off...:cool:
Thanks so much for the info! I owned an old ratliff back in 86' and it had real pearl buttons on it. Several were cracked when I purchased it. Definitely fragile. Ironically I was looking on ebay at...
I was actually going to start a thread which I think would be the same question. I have the nickel-silver gotoh tuners that come on the Kentucky master models and I'm looking for mother of pearl...
All these protocols I'm sure are good. I actually do believe in them as well. At the end of the day I pretty much look at how long they've been a cafe member. If a week probably not doing business....
I was at IBMA, last year they had it in Nashville and Elderly had a Stiver F5 that was like an 84, 85 model that I fell in love with. I already had a really good mandolin at the time and I attempted...
I'd let Jonathan McClanahan take a look at it. If you've not heard of him just Google him. He would be my pick. He would shoot straight forward with you and tell you what it needs and he certainly...
This mandolin looks GREAT! If it sounds anything like it looks boy you got a wonderful mandolin! ~o)
I'm sure most are aware of my relationship with Audey and Ratliff mandolins. I've played them the majority of my career. I guess I've owned 12 to 15 mandolins since 1983 and 3 or 4 of those have been...
Randy Hogan makes a small round braided strap. Funny your talking about this because I sold my RH braided strap several years ago and I was fixing to contact him pretty soon to have one made. Just...
You will certainly love the mandolin. Same brand played by Jesse McRenyolds I would assume most of his career and on most of the Jim and Jesse records. I played (and attempted to work out a trade) on...
Yep. I'm heading up Thursday night. Driving back Sunday afternoon/ evening. ~o)
Thanks everyone for your response I really appreciate it. I had actually forgot about Straight up strings so they are a must to try. I was going to buy some when they first come out and honestly...
Well this will most likely prompt a lot of comments. It's regarding what string will sound best on my mandolin. With all the choices is that even possible? Over the years I've used D'addario, GHS,...
I've played Rat's the majority of my playing career. I've owned 12-15 mandolins since 82-83 and 3 of them were Ratliff's. I owned #17 I think. 03/04/84 and sold it, wished I hadn't. They are great...
I'm gonna chime in here. I've played several mandolins over the years that had carbon fiber rods in them and one in particular that I see pop up on this site every now and again. I love the concept...
