    Re: Gibson's 1923 F-5 Master Model Reissue

    Absolutely no disrespect to NF, they make what they make. And nothing's coming - just based on the fact that they don't make a 20k mandolin, perhaps 1/4 of that on a good day.

    Re: Gibson's 1923 F-5 Master Model Reissue

    No disrespect, but NF has no place in a discussion of 20k instruments.

    There is so much great content on YT, I constantly bump into something new and refreshing! I like how it seems to nudge me off my beaten path into other ideas and genres. Lately, I've been enjoying...

    Let's not forget this tour-de-force project by two legends. The production and performances are so exquisitely perfect. Many of the tunes are great for slowing down and learning. Hartford's Real is...

    Re: Pickguard issue

    Took a shot at removing it, and thankfully total success. Started by warming a spot with a hair dryer - when it lifted fairly easily, I kept going slowly. About half the rubbery glue material lifted...

    In reading through similar threads, seems stewmac makes a removable mylar pickguard. Some recommendations to warm if you try to remove. Looks like it's designed to be removed/replaced, but age is a...

    Re: Pickguard issue

    Yes, I can feel the raised edge. Have yet to try to lift an edge.

    And, if attempted, would it be helpful to slightly warm the area you think?

    Unless I have a couple folks who have successfully...

    Pickguard issue

    I can't tell if this is what remained when a glue-on pickguard was removed - or is this some kind of transparent pickguard made like this. Does anyone have experience with something similar? I would...

    Re: String lubricants

    This original tin must go back to at least the '80s. Since I'm planning on passing it down to my heirs, I only use it on "special" occasions. ;)
