    I agree. I think he would welcome your email, even if you aren't quite ready yet.

    Can't wait to see the new mandola!

    Re: Mandolin Setup Help in central California

    Yeah, the traffic is a drag. I haven't been there for a while, but I think both times I went on Saturdays and the drive was better.

    Re: Mandolin Setup Help in central California

    I have tried several other luthiers in the valley and still ended up at Gryphon in the end. Now I just go there to begin with. It's worth a few extra hours to make sure it's done properly.

    Re: NMD My Pomeroy A

    Don Paine at Pomeroy Instruments: www.pomeroyinstruments.com

    He built an A-style oval hole mandolin last year for me with Irish music in mind. It is perfect.

    Re: Happy birthday to me - My new Pomeroy #274

    Thank you all. When Don was going through the walnut he had on hand, he found this one-piece back in his inventory. I know it would have sounded just as great with a two-piece back, but as soon as I...

    Happy birthday to me - My new Pomeroy #274

    After several years playing my Dad's old Gibson A-40, I decided it was finally time to have a mandolin made for me. Coincidentally, it arrived just a few days before my birthday!

    I play bluegrass...

    Re: Struggling with Gibson serial numbers

    I wish I could go back in time and ask him why he chose this particular mandolin. Would be an interesting conversation. Knowing him he put a lot of time and thought into choosing it.

    Thank you for...

    Re: Struggling with Gibson serial numbers

    That actually really helps. It must have been 1965, because by 1968 he had moved to Oregon and I know he bought the mandolin before he moved.

    I really did just want to know for sentimental...
