Well I like Tony Rice...
The bottom line is that we all thought or hoped that the recent depressing era was over and we were hoping for sunny days ahead. It appears to be just the opposite. I don’t care about Gibson anymore....
I play a fully fretted Sterling C. Bon ton roulete!
Thanks Len. Yeah, depth is the proper word. I like the mandolin, can't play it for beans. I'm a guitar player and the mandolin kicks my dyslexia into overdrive.
Years ago, I had a Kentucky KM1000. The body was narrower than most mandolins. SAGA said that they copied the owner's Loar F5 which had its Virzi removed and in the process the instrument had been...
Big thanks!
A friend from outside the USA would like me to sell his Rigel mandolin. When were hey last made? Thanks!
I'm pretty sure Far East man is Woodman Instruments in Tokyo. That is probably the premier vintage shop in Japan which means it probably is the Premier vintage shop in the world. I won't even begin...
Tom was my first guitar teacher back in 1963 in Columbus. I was a freshman student at Ohio State and looking for a way to flunk out. Tom help me out greatly in that endeavor. He's a genuinely kind...
Thanks all.
Yesterday, I joined Banjo Ben. There are a lot of video lessons there. Mandolin is a great size for sitting on the couch and picking. I'm 73 but I am a young 73. Still ride my...
As a 73-year-old steel guitar and guitar picker, I am by no means a new-be about instruments but I have never been very good at picking a mandolin. It causes terrible problems with my dyslexia;...
Fender Japan bailed out Fender USA at that time. Those were great guitars. I don't remember Gibson producing any guitars in Japan. And if they did, they would most certainly not be "inferior."
I play 10-button Cajun Accordion. It is the perfect foil to the mandolin. Great music and the instrument is a gas to play...

Amazingly enough, I rarely hear about Marty Stuart. Marty absolutely smokes on the mandolin, not a lot of pickers can say they are better players.
Vinnie, Joey and Vito said if I didn't play the mandolin at Johnny "Big Johnny" G.'s funeral it would be a problem.
There's always a ton of them used for sale on the Forum. This tells me people buy them and then move on to something else. I've found all Collings instruments to be sterile sounding but loud. If...
It's all part of the communistic plot to ruin the minds of our chillun... You want rhythm? I got Tater-Boy Bobbie over the corner there to do a dancing in his tap shoes for ya. Bobbie! Bobbie!...
I forgot about my "vintage" so-called Pc-Rim instruments. I have a '77 Yamaha SG2000, black and evil looking. This guitar has a HUGE story behind it but I won't bore you. Suffice to say that this...
Thanks all. I've posted this stuff before. I'm 72, got my first guitar at nine, played in honky tonks, biker bars, hippie clubs and crab feeds for a good bit of my life. I've owned hundreds of...
For the first time ever, I actually LIKE to play the mandolin. I have made some big gains in my understanding of what I need to do. And coming here -- and the generous help available from you folks...
This is a great thread for me. Thanks for bringing this up. You are doing great. Be patient and you will be amazed at how great you sound in a few months.
Found it!! Now to figure out how to delete this thread... -L-
Thanks all. I'll be putting some cool stuff up in the next few days...

I have a mandolin and a few guitars I am not playing and the house needs a roof. I want to post in the classifieds here but...
