    Case for Gibson Style O

    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. ...

    Flattop Mandolin Bridge Height?

    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...

    Re: Bad Experience on the Classifieds

    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...

    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.

    Re: Bad Experience on the Classifieds

    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...

    Re: Bad Experience on the Classifieds

    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...

    Re: Bad Experience on the Classifieds

    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...

    Re: Bad Experience on the Classifieds

    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.

    Bad Experience with Online Sale

    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...

    Re: Really cool, but really sad

    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...

    Re: Really cool, but really sad

    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...

    Really cool, but really sad

    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...

    Re: Leonardo Nunes tiple

    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.

    Re: Worth repair?

    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...

    To Re-brace or Not?

    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,...

    Re: water and bending sides

    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...
