Anyone know of a hard case that'll fit a Gibson Style O? I had bought a dreadnought sized case that almost worked, but the scroll barely fit and the peghead was resting on the neck cradle. ...

I’m a big fan of Gibson Army Navy and Alrite mandolins. I’ve thought about making one but I’ve mostly just been keeping my eye out for one. Earlier today I saw one posted on Reverb and the bridge...
I think Jeff Mando (And others)had some very eye opening information to share. I think I had a bad attitude throughout the whole ordeal. I took some of the criticism too personally and that was a...
This is all great stuff, thank you for contributing, this has been on my minds for months now and I really appreciate everyone’s perspective and thoughts.
Yeah, I should've thought about how that would come across, I edited the thread title but it doesn't seem to have changed that.
This is good advice, I shouldn’t have assumed the classifieds would be similar to Craigslist or Facebook marketplace in terms of all sales being assumed as final. I told them to file a claim with...
Yes in hindsight I shouldn’t have specified the classifieds here, this easily could’ve happened on any other platform.
It was not my intention to say anything bad about the site or the classifieds, I apologize if it sounds that way,I just wanted to offer some awareness about online selling as a whole. I received...
I’ve never had any issue on Reverb, Facebook marketplace, or craigslists. Admittedly I’ve only sold 2 instruments through eBay. Unfortunately I agree with your last sentence.
For a while I...
I know that whole situation made me concerned. If they were going to send it back no matter what I said, why bother taking them off? Anyways, I was able to get the strings back on within minutes of...
Thanks, that’s good to know. I’ve been lucky and only had one instrument get damaged in shipping and it was handled (I assume) between the buyer and Reverb.
I had a pretty bad experience selling a guitar a few months ago and I thought I’d make a post about it and hopefully offer some advice and warning to others. Unfortunately this situation has left a...
Here are some pictures. I think it would've originally started out with a sunburst on the top, but it was bare when I got it (The splotches on the bass sides are my color tests, I'll re-sand it...
I'm already watching that listing! I was able to get the crown cover off of mine so it'll be easy enough to swap out, I'm tempted to see if he relists it lower but $45 wouldn't be the end of the...
You mean stick the loop end through the hole and thread a rod through all of the loops? I'm not sure how that would work, when installed the holes will be completely covered by the sides. I was...
Earlier today I picked up a Regal Octophone, it's in rough shape but the price was too good to pass up (Worth driving an hour each way too). It's the fanciest one I've ever seen, Spruce over...
Wow that's unique. Manuel Nunes is one of 3 luthiers considered to be the "inventor of the ukulele", and I believe he was the first to start mass-producing them. His son Leonardo left the family...
Just made a new bridge for this regal tenor guitar, I had originally used a pre-made tenor banjo bridge but I much prefer this one.

Your pictures aren't great, but this cello doesn't look like the "usual" Markneukirchen fiddle, to my eye it looks much earlier possibly mid to late 19th century. The wide set f-holes remind me of...
I expected hide glue which is why I was surprised it took me over 30 minutes using an iron, palette knife, water, and alcohol just to release the fretboard. It's a shame these instruments weren't...
I've done this before on violins; I would consider plane shavings a spline, Usually I just find a piece with wide grain and make sure I get a shaving that is entirely summer grain. I would be less...
1. The more I think about pulling the back, the more I think about how much I struggled to pull just the fingerboard extension, whatever glue they used it definitely was not hide glue, it was...
Just got this Wards branded KM-11 the other day. Before receiving it I had planned to pull the back, and re-brace the top with an x-brace. However I didn't expect it to be braced the way it is,...
Generally the longer you soak it, the longer it needs to stay clamped and the longer it takes to dry. Personally I'm against soaking sides, think about how much time people spend drying wood, only...
