Hi everyone,
I recently picked up what seems to be a very rare Earthwood (Ernie Ball) Mandola that would benefit from some repairs (I previously posted about this on one of the other threads). The bridge is beginning to pull away from the body and the body is beginning to get the classic hump around the bridge. Also, oddly, this instrument appears to have a bolt-on neck. So I'm wondering what the best approach would be to setting this instrument up so that it will play better and be stable. I suppose options include some combination of re-seating the bridge, adding a shim under the neck, and/or reducing some height on the saddle (which is pretty tall).
Thanks,
Matt
