I know about those "friend" repairs....
Please do -- seems unusual, IMHO. :confused:
I'm hoping you're sailing around the world in a small craft, rather than going to prison...(then again, wouldn't you want the mandolin in either case?)...
Good points, especially when it comes to forumspeak.....:whistling:
I think on this forum we have a better than average grasp on language basics, especially when compared to other music and...
Hard to say without a picture. On the reply box upper row, third icon from end is the "insert image" choice.
$350 is in the range for a nice one. A few go for more. Many more go for much less...
Yes, but it supports a "charity" :)):)):)):)):crying:
NMC, but one of the all-time greats, IMHO.
Dickey Betts died today at 80 years old. RIP.
Always drill a pilot hole first that is smaller than the screw. I lubricate the screw threads with a bar of soap before tightening. (my Dad always used saliva, but soap sounds nicer if one of my...
There is an amazing amount of knowledge and experience freely given here at Mandolin Cafe to help players with the hobby. I don't always agree with everybody, but I respect their viewpoint. And, I...
If you can't get a refund, before I threw it in the trash I would squirt some wood glue in there and clamp it with a C clamp. Cost is zero, worth a try. I wouldn't worry about the fingerboard...
So much of what I say should be prefaced with, "for those old enough to recall..."

no genders or names, please!
(well, I guess Jeff Mando is OK...:cool:)
Seems like an update of the old Thomas-Ginex fret leveling kit that has been available for the last 50 years...
not the best
no back binding

I agree. I think it is arrogant to give ourselves so much credit for being SOOOO creative. Sure, I've got a couple songs that I'm proud of and think every once in a while I can come up with a...
Recently in the news, Tesla settles autopilot fatality case. Apparently for an undisclosed amount -- I gave up after reading 4 online reports and none mentioned a figure. I'm guessing that means a...
OTOH, seller has been an eBay member since 1998 with 100% positive feedback. I'm guessing he just wanted to be cautious about disclosing the serial number for all to see, like many sellers do. ...
Magazines aren't what they once were. I subscribe to a half-dozen home handyman type magazines and some are lucky to hit 60 pages an issue, and some only come out every two months, at that. About...
Agreed. Some of these Stradolin's ring like a bell, feature 90-year old wood, and most are well under $500!
Isn't Fender still an American company?
Interesting!
For all we know, today's most popular artists may actually be robots -- and have been for years! :))
That would sure cut out the middle man for the record companies...
For me, that would pique the question of how the caregiver knew the value of the Loar and the Bone? Unless, the sick person bragged -- "those two there are worth more than most people's houses!" or...
Again, why store valuables in a LOW/NO security storage unit?
Doesn't make sense...
