Sorry to hear this!

I too was hesitant on putting one on my 1980 Gibson Fern but had L Dudenbostal do the honors of putting a gold/bronze one on mine.Same as you maybe a touch of a change in volume but a major...

I am a recent convert to James---great tone/sustain improvement!And looks great.

by the way I would like to see a picture of the finished product once you have it engraved, I have an unengraved one and thought about getting it engraved. Pic of the finished product?

I would simply dismantle your entire instrument removing the strings, bridge, and then you can just simply unscrew the tailpiece from the instrument. Seems safer to me. Just remember your setup of...

I recently had L Dudenbostel fit me a James Tailpiece on my F-5L to which he did a great job intsalling without drilling new holes in my mando,it is a subtle appreciation.My question is that i am...

Melvin was a great fellow and his instruments we're wonderful,I am sorry to hear this news.God bless the Tucker Family.

Big Joe that brings up a fun fact for me,,,,my mandolin is an F-5L dated Feb 12 1980----serial#-83110018,,,,,How could i found out where/what store it was originally sold to?I would be interested to...

Jimmy Gaudreau and David McLaughlin are the first two names that come up.Absolute masters of tone and taste.Larry Stephenson is also a fine mandolin player!

EvanElk I own an F-5l dated February. 12 1980 and love it.On a side note the one your thinking of getting does sound like a good purchase price cause you couldn't buy mine for that,ha.I also spoke to...

Maybe this will fit into your thread!--------

I agree AndyPanda,,,,,but it most likely served the same duty to remove extra noise(don't know).The older picture sparked the question who started such an idea of scooping???#iwonder

I am open however prefer the un-scooped Gibson Design of the fretboard.That being said I saw this picture of perhaps my favorite mandolin player and thought the year was probably mid to late 70s,,,,I...

A mid 80s Buddy Davis F-5 that I sold to my uncle as I didn't play for 10 years.I am happy with a early F-5L now so all is well.Buddy was a great independent maker having made mandolins for greats...

I owned a newer 2005 Danny Roberts signed that was a great mandolin.I found it to be balanced,woody,clean,and plenty of volume if need be.Enjoy your new "Pup"!

Do you now own it?I would say $2000 ish for the Glaser Mandocaster however given the significance of ownership, a bit more is most likely in order!

Is the interior dark green(can't tell in pic),,,,looks in good condition WHAT IS YOUR PRICE?I have new GWW Gator case and it has neck rest like the Master cases do so i don't believe it to be a...

Every Tuesday night at STEVES LIVE MUSIC in Sandy Springs (20 minute drive) is right up your ally----!

How would the BOLT-ON neck effect the sound/feel of the instrument,------Negs/Pos'------??????(thats not loar specs)

Check to see if the bridge is lined up with the fretboard "evenly" also,,,there are a couple of common sence things like this to check----but yes a nut and bridge is a common replacement at any...

It sounds like you need an overall set-up.By that i mean a new nut,bridge,attention to the frets and checking for any truss rod adjustment.To wide of unison string spacing "will" cause problems like...

The Monroe truss rod cover was not original Nyther is one the is presently on the mandolin compliments of Custom Inlay in Ky.It is my understanding that R Siminoff carved and tap-tuned the backs and...

I have one built in early 1980 and love it.I would "maybe consider" an upgrade like maybe a Master Model but it would really
have to impress me.The only issue I've heard tell of is the early F-5Ls...

Yes sgarrity it has an arch to the top.Also has the upgrade banana leather strap which makes it comfortable to carry.

It was a custom order.You can talk with Nancy in the custom shop(866-669-8932) and she will take care of you.The case can be made with several color schemes as I originally ordered the gator exterior...
