Re: Electric Mandolin Adjustments - HELP!!!
I may have to back off a bit from previous statements regarding MandoBird intonation, to the extent that if modified correctly they may indeed be fine or at least more than serviceable instruments. Since I have little experience with these sorts of modifications, I am a bit leery to venture there. And I do think instruments should be built to where such modifications aren't necessary; indeed, they should already be incorporated into the construction. That is, I would like to think a product from respected manufacturers like Gibson or Epiphone would be playable right out of the box, pretty much. And of course, since I have been playing their products for nigh unto 45 years, I want to believe they make quality instruments. So if indeed even these modifications are all it takes to get my MandoBirds into good working order, I may have to take another run at them. I got frustrated and went with a custom-made instrument that I felt confident would be just fine as is. And it is. But having the MandoBirds as good working backups would indeed be nice.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
