  1. Re: Gibson side bulging - looking for repair suggestions

    Ummm...and not play it? :confused: Not happening. It's likely been like this for decades, and may stay this way until the end of time.
  2. Re: Gibson side bulging - looking for repair suggestions

    Would that work on a pre-war (WWI that is!) Gibson F-4. Mine is doing the same thing to about that extent, or a little more.

    Re: Vintage vs New

    Interesting observations. I bought a 1913 Gibson F-4 at the beginning of the year, and its tone is to die for. Paid less than the bottom or your range. Louder and more resonant than my Eastman 615...

    Re: Feedback on Eastman hard case?

    The 615 I bought 3 years back has the rectangular case and does have a shoulder strap (which I do not use). I am actually using the case for my Gibson F-4 now (The Eastman is in a gig bag). The case...

    How about jazz? Don Stiernberg and friends did a nice album recently call Rhythm Twist.

    Re: Eastman Mandolins

    Not here. I had to tweak my MD615 for intonation's sake and had no problem moving it.

    To become a Charter member, you need to pay any annual fee. Charter members have more storage, and (most importantly) can post in the AGF classifieds.

    Perhaps he wants the all-maple version. Gryphon has a mahogany one too.

    Re: Strings for OCTOLINDO S MODEL DELUXE?

    If you like them twice as much, or the same and they'll last twice as long: yes. If neither: no. If both: H*** Yes!

  14. Re: D'Addario Micro Headstock vs Micro Clip Free tuners

    Me too. I keep the body of the tuner behind the headstock so you only see the 8mm x 20mm clip. None of "The Gibson" is obscured on my F-4!. I use a soundhole tuner on my McIlroy guitar and it works...

    Re: Mark Knopfler's Mandolin

    Did he actually play it on a recording? Unless you could say "this is the mandolin he played on "Walk of Life" (as an example)" that is a crazy price. Money to burn, I guess. Maybe Jim Irsay...? :))

    Re: My first oval hole

    I'm only 1-month into my F-4 but agree in spades. Best part? My wife absolutely loves the tone, which means more playing time for me!

    It appears even with the strap still on? That's promising. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Case for Gibson F-4

    Hey Vintage Gibson F-4 owners! I am looking for a modern hard case in the "several hundred dollars" ballpark that is guaranteed to fit an F-4 with its shorter neck.
    Thanks for any recommendations....

    Re: Eastman MD315 resale value

    Do a search on Reverb to see your range. Lot of new ones going for less than you paid, I'm afraid.
