If you haven't seen it, Max and Laurie Girouard have been working on a Ms. Griffith copy and they have been posting the progress to a blog. It is interesting reading.

The Griffith Project

The electronics are either side of the endpin in two separate compartments. It almost has to be for the neck. From the website:



The preamp appears to be included in the jack compartment.

If you have a question for the builder regarding the warranty then perhaps it might be best to take that up with him or perhaps the person you bought it from. There's no reason for this to continue...

I'll be honest, I don't know why anyone would counterfeit an Ibanez let alone a JBovier but I'd be looking really hard at the factory where JBover mandolins are produced. That's a whole lot of...

Bill Monroe's mandolin didn't look all that great. The back was a little mismatched and as the years went by it didn't get any newer. If you pay a bunch for a mandolin I'm of the opinion that it...

People here have been converting them from righty to lefty for years. Other than the bridge saddle and the nut the only issue is that the dots on the top of the neck will be on the bottom. I'm with...

It's simply a nod to tradition, nothing more nothing less.

I scooped my Gibson years ago because of the pick click. It may be that the scoop isn't deep enough. Lots of people over the years have...

Nah, nobody cries when they cut up a mandolin banjo. The only problem I ever had with them was keeping them in tune.

Does anyone know the difference between a mandolin banjo and an onion? Asking for a friend.

Great job on building the case Steve. I've always wondered why there wasn't more of build your own case movement. Some people build some heavy boxes. I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about...

I've always loved Darryl Wolfe's bridge top machine.

Yes, it did the trick but I can't seem to get to it anymore because there are too many cases stacked in front of it. Yes, I am a sick man.

And no self respecting slimeball would keep the cases where they could be counted. I will note that when I finally built shelving for all my instruments there was a major blowout in the house. They...

It's no earlier than the late 70's, probably early to mid 80's.

I wonder if there's a soundpost under that bridge?

RIP, beautiful work.

Back when Lee died this was posted. I didn't make the connection when it was first posted.

Your habits are not going to matter one way or the other unless you have a playable instrument. An instrument that doesn't intonate right does nothing for your abilities one way or the other. A...

I'd reply to this but people might think I was just trying to increase my post count.

Jim who?

Mandrian, I fixed it for you :cool:

Happy New Year.

I wish I'd written that.

By the way, that my friends, is love. Not in the...

I was over on Rick Turner's page looking at a guitar that I am seriously wanting to own when I bumped into this. I remember reading about this years back.
