What did he name all yours?
Looks like these are all coming back. All say "coming soon". Looks like there are some solid tops and solid sides options. As somebody mentioned before, I don't think there is a Martin connection...
Search the forum, I remember reading something about Ken Ratliff, the Silver Angel builder using the tailpiece because of its looks and sound improvement.
My favorite picks. I like them more when i start wearing in my own bevel.
My guess is the finish contributes a lot. To me all Gibson electrics have a vanilla like smell from the nitro. I could blindfold test tell a les Paul from Gibson with nitro vs a non nitro les Paul on...
Had Mr. Newson do some fret work for me in the past. Was really good guy to deal with.
Orrico mandolin tailpiece. Can get them from a few places. Runs about 80-90 bucks. I have one, they look pretty, have leather piece to dampen the overtones, but they can be hard to restring.
Urban legend that Jaco Pastorius would eat fried chicken with his hands and then play his bass....

had it for about 16 years, traded it in for something else last week.
The tune was Sam Bushed.
Well you are going to have to keep both, I mean you need a good A style and a good F style... and then a good flat-top, and then an A style with oval hole, and then F style with oval hole.... and...
Just got back from listening to Frank Solivan tonight and I noticed he wasn't playing the Lewis. He mentioned that he was excited to be playing a mandolin that he "built from some hunks of wood with...
My F-style mandolin came pre-named from the builder. Otherwise, none of my instruments have names. However, if i was to name then I would name them all the same name like with BB King. All of his...
I knew you were =) Got me thinking how many docs we have here on the cafe, so I started a social group!
I have been a physician for around seven years, but have played mandolin for more than seventeen years. I think I am allowed to enjoy it. I do like golf though.....:grin:
The Northfield Big Mon pops into my mind during this discussion. They kept the styling and the lines very similar, yet it is something new.
Used to live in MI. When I was there Paul Newson did a complete re-fret and new nut for me for a much better deal than the place at the capital. He was good to work with and did great work.
Same price for the oval hole option?
Are these the bigger f holes or the standard size ones? Can't tell by the picture.
I have been wanting to try these for a while now.
Don't know if you talked to him, but one of the "pickers" that was in the pictures is the Voight mandolin luthier.
I guess if you are interested send me a message and I will let you know.
I have a 675 on consignment at a music store right now trying to sell it for me.
Can I post the name of the store or does that violate forum guidelines?
Another ProPlecer here.
Here is the only issue I have had with Eastman. I posted this before in another thread as well. I bought a 505 from a very well respected dealer in Lansing Michigan. Played it for about 5-6 months,...
