    I used Rob's idea about the feeler gauges as nut slot files, but I take them apart and tag them with blue tapes so I can pick them out quickly out of this bunch (which costs only 4$ in my area).

    Thank you Rob for sharing your excellent Mandolin Setup guide with me. I've already made a few improvements to my setup and the difference is noticeable in play-ability and sound quality. Thanks for all the great work you put into this guide, for taking the time to research and document these techniques in a way that is easy to follow and thank you for making this wonderful resource available to the community here.

    Well i haven't been playing much mandolin, i've been playing other instruments, they're round and have 5 strings. I have to do some bridge foot filing and slotting, so off to make some nut saws using the excellent guide. i have gotten to where i can make inexpensive instruments sound pretty good and loud.

    Thanks Mr. M,

    I got myself a $50 a black laminate Mando and went to town using Rob's book. I now feel perfectly comfortable adjusting my more expensive Lafferty F5V. It's mainly helped me for adjusting bridge height and intonation. Yee haa!

    Yes indeed! I have played guitar and bass for years and I have always done my own setups... Rob, your book taught me so many things I did not know.
