Thanks,

Reluctantly, I just listed my Red Diamond Vintage A as I have a deposit on something else and need to move something to make it happen. It's as good as it gets and is one I will surely miss. ...

Can anyone comment on this one currently on ebay? Would love to know who built it...

Stumbled upon this gem...

There we go... too bad it's tax time...

I saw one of these go awhile back at Carmel Music and kick myself every time I see the sold listing... Great looking instruments, Andrew. Keep up the...

Jim,

Any pics of the '28 L5 Maybelle Special?

Thanks,

Joey

I love the Epiphone Olympics and am particularly fond of the unbound versions like yours in the middle. I've seen them occasionally go up for sale ranging from $1200 up to $3500 but they are...

Thanks for the great comments. This particular L7 is a nice fit for me as it has a 1 3/4 nut width. I think the feel comparison with mandos is a good one as the small f holes on this early model...

After a series of guitar and mando swaps and sales, I recently found myself guitar-less for the first time in about 15 years. With a little extra cash in hand from the transactions, I picked up a...

I feel the mandolin parts on many of the recent T Bone Burnett produced recordings for Elvis Costello and Willie Nelson, in addition to his soundtrack work, are pretty tasteful and sublte. I believe...

+1 to Heritage

Anyone else admiring Pete Huttlinger's Gil pictured in the latest Fretboard Journal? I'd also love to try one of Ferrington's instruments as I've been a fan since his book came out some years ago.

Does anyone think there will be much effect on the preowned market? Being that there might not be as many new F/H5 models out there (but more 2pts), should I start pinching pennies for the next one...

Just caught this post from Will Kimble on Facebook and wanted to share. I have an F5 of his from around 2006 which is as nice and enjoyable as anything I've seen or played. Even though I acquired...

I've always thought this to be an interesting debate, no matter what the genre. As a lifelong Bob Dylan fan, I've found myself debating if there is such a thing as invention in music. Bob, possibly...

Jim, I think that seems to hit the nail on the head. Even though the stiffer mandolin is louder with a nice sound, I feel the transfer of energy is different that with the smoother playing one. I...

Same string gauge and fret size... I'm thinking it could be differences in the nut. Does the bridge effect this much? The easier playing of the two has a full contact bridge while the other is a...

Dear cafe,

This may be a little hard to accurately articulate, but I wanted to reach out about questions pertaining to differences regarding the feel and playability of my two A style mandolins. ...

There is also a pretty great looking Duff H5 that I keep coming back to at Artisan's website and ebay...

Just wanted to add to the praise and thanks to Rob for writing and making the setup guide available. Looking forward to making some progress with it.

I've actually decided to keep the Nugget as it has really started to draw me in. While it may not be exactly the sound I was originally going after, it has become one of those special instruments...

Out of curiosity, what's the general consensus out there regarding the practicality (or lack thereof) of having a couple of great instruments (mix of guitars and mandos) vs the thought of...

Mark, funny timing as I was just thinking the same. I'm going to keep it awhile longer...
