Thanks. I really like the V neck shape and the narrower width of my 1924 A2z. I am looking at possibly getting another plain A snakehead from 1928. My understanding was that the snakehead neck...
Hi all. Would anyone know about the neck profile of post-Loar snakehead As and how they compare to Loar era examples? I’m particularly interested in differences between snakeheads from 1924 and...
Hi all. I am wondering if anybody has had experience buying from Vintage Instruments a specialty music shop in Philadelphia. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Hi all, I am looking to possibly purchase a Gibson A snakehead. It sounds great, but is pretty beat up and has some back shrinkage along the edge of the lower
bout that I’m concerned about. Would...
Hi all. Bringing up this 2020 thread again to ask a dumb question. I see at the start of the thread that Baron notes that he uses octave mandolin strings with looped ends on his tenor. How is that...
Just a quick note that I tried Jill's suggestion and got the gator 3/4 size case but unfortunately it was too big (thank goodness for Amazon return). I may see if I can find a used Martin mini case....
Sorry if I’m posting in the wrong place as this is not mando related but any recommendations for cases that would fit a 23 inch scale Martin 5-15T tenor guitar?
Thanks! Paul
Bad news. I checked with Hobgoblin today and they don’t expect a shipment of AT 24s until July. Be still my TGAS!
Hi all. I am interested in purchasing a tenor guitar and came upon this model through YouTube. It is manufactured in Vietnam and looks like it’s primarily sold in the UK. It sounds wonderful from the...
Sorry to not have responded earlier. I’ve had Bill Tippin refret both my 1920 Gibson A. and my 1924 A2z. He did a great job on both!
Just refilled all my oasis humidifiers. Three scoops.
Would anyone know if this case would fit a F2 or F4? Looks like it would.
Thanks a lot John. Let me know if you end up finding a case that works. I did find this link to a Golden Gate Vintage 1920s case manufactured by Saga --...
Hi all. Recently I got a good deal on a 1914 F2 that was renecked in the 1950s by Gibson (see photo). I love the mandolin and the price was right given the modification but it needs a new case and I...
Thanks all for your suggestions. Paul
Hi all. I have been using EJ 174s on my 1924 A2-Z but would like to change it up a bit. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Paul
Thanks all for the very helpful replies!
Hi all. I have a 1924 A2z that I am thinking of refretting with larger frets for ease of playing and comfort. Is that likely to be a problem down the road should I decide to sell it at some point? ...
Thanks Jim! Paul
Hi all. I posted an ad in the classifieds with a picture of the instrument for sale. It uploaded the front picture but I also also wanted to post a picture showing the back of the instrument along...
Thanks so much, KC, for posting your assessment of the Seattle F4. It is very hard to purchase an instrument (especially a relatively expensive one like a F4) sight unseen. Truth is though that...
Thanks so much; I'll check it out.
The case looks a bit beat up but maybe I could - thanks for the suggestion!
[QUOTE=Bazz Jass;1817048]Looks lovely. Are you speculating that it will need the extra work, or have you seen it in person?[/
It’s based on a discussion I had with the mandolin guy in their repair...
