    Re: Willie Nelson’s Bluegrass Album

    Love this record a lot, although I think Mickey's harmonica was a little heavy at times for a bluegrass record.
  3. Fantastic!

    Fantastic!
  4. Re: Gibson has become a popular spam victim/target

    I get these all the time, but from Harbor Freight and Kohl's. I just auto-delete them. What's their angle though, are they after your credit card number for "shipping"?
  5. Re: Is Gibson Getting Ready to Roll Out Some New Models?

    Agreed. I have one and it is a fantastic mandolin!

    Re: Polish for Big Mon

    I second that! The only caveat is that the directions recommend you should not use it until the finish is at least a year old.

    I have a Northfield Octave Mandolin and they recommended Virtuoso...

    Re: Calton case w/Tone Guard

    I have one of the Gibson Signature cases. It is a super tight fit. I haven't tried it, but I sincerely doubt that I could get my F5 in the case with a Tone-Gard on it.

    Re: Replacing Eastman tuners

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't one of the upgrades in the 500 series Grover tuners?

    Re: The Loar LM-600E

    I had one for a few years and it was my primary mandolin. I liked it. Fit and finish was good, no intonation problems. Good punchy sound. I sold it after I upgraded to a Gibson.
  11. Re: The Mandolin Store has moved to Lebanon, Ohio

    I bought a couple mandolins from Dennis and got to see the Nashville store a few times. I met both Adam and James and they are super people. I'm happy for Dennis and looking forward to continuing...
  12. Re: Who Has a Northfield F5-S with Airloom case?

    The only mandolin I've ever had with a loose fitting case is one of the old rectangular Fender cases that came with the vintage Fender Mandocasters. I had to add a couple of well placed hand towels...

    Re: Calton Cases - in pictures

    I got this first hand from Calton, they now use an oven to totally dry the cases out before shipping - eliminating the offgassing. This is a process they have started within the last year. I sent...

    Re: Calton Cases - in pictures

    Man, I'm so sorry to hear that. Hope everything gets back to normal soon. I will say Calton did contact me back and gave me suggestions to try and air it out. They've been nothing but helpful so...

    Re: Calton Cases - in pictures

    How's it doing so far as offgassing? Mine is nine months old now and it's only moderately dissipated. If I leave my F5 in the case for any length of time, the inside of the mandolin smells like a...

    Rob's book has been very useful to me and I HIGHLY recommend it.

    Lower Neck Binding Chipping

    Does anyone have any thoughts on this? It’s a Gibson F5 - fantastic mandolin - about a year and a half old. Right after I bought it, I noticed chipping under the 5th fret. Even though it wasn’t...

    Re: Do You Baby Your Mandolin?

    I have an inexpensive Loar that I keep on a stand in my living room, but I keep the Gibson in the case unless I'm using it. I live in the south and the summertime humidity is brutal.

    Re: The case of Cedar Creek Cases continues.

    My Calton that I received in February is just recently beginning to dissipate and I've left it open for days at a time.

    Adam who used to do the demos, is also very talented and a nice guy. Nowadays, he is a member of the bluegrass band Joe Mullins and the Radio Ramblers.

    I use a Lakota round braid. The only problem I have is keeping it hooked on the tailpiece pin. The leather is very thin and wants to come off the pin. The first one I had ended up tearing at the...
