I have a 1920(?) Gibson Oval A on loan from a friend who wants to sell it. It needs a bridge (probably) adjustment, the tuning pegs need lubrication and one or two of the peg heads is loose. I'm taking the mandolin to a luthier and will probably ask him about the instrument itself. I have no idea what he'll charge, but, I presume not much. What sort of tip is customary in this case?
I tried researching the subject of luthier tips in the Cafe. Got lots of "tips," but saw nothing on tipping luthiers.
