    Re: Tuning down old Gibson

    100s (1000s?) of pre-adjustable truss rod Gibson mandolins have survived all these 100+ years just fine with medium gauge strings tuned to concert pitch with no adverse effects on the neck.

    You are located in Europe? Try to find a Warwick Rok-Bag. I believe it is a German company, but I have ontained a couple in the US. They are high-quality, durable and well-padded
  13. Re: Tailpeice alignment- is this a problem?

    It's an inexpensive, import instrument...me, personally, I am not shocked. Years back, a customer brought me his Late 1980s Gibson ES-175 with the tailpiece factory mounted off center. Whilst...

    With guitar, I do like that I can control the dynamics of the instrument by varying the amount of contact between the back of the guitar and my torso. For whatever inexplicable reason, less so with...

    Re: Just got a tone-gard a couple days ago

    Regarding JamVal:

    "I saw exactly one other player with a Tone-Gard" This greatly surprises me...I know hardly any mandolin players who play without one.
