A review of this instrument. These are great for the $$$ and come with good tuners, excellent fret work, nice construction, a pickup, a 1-piece cast tailpiece, and an excellent hardshell case.
This one's for sale ($675) shipped to CONUS). It's B-stock (cosmetic blemishes), and in new condition, except that I made a new nut to replace the stock zero fret (which is a great idea, just poor execution). PM me if interested or see it on Reverb.com.

Bryan's quote of the day: "Of course I don't know what 'medieval' sounds like because I'm not quite that old." ;^D

I can't count how many times my pocket knife has rung my guitar like that.

Latest specs show no zero nut - arched solid top - compound radiused blackwood fretboard. I'm seriously thinking of this model. Also putting a single octave string with each standard string on the lower 3 strings giving it a sound more like a 12 string guitar, but with the octave sound.

Those would be some good changes, IMHO. The octave doubling is a common trick on octaves... go for it.

Just purchased one of these, generally like the instrument! Will you work on my mandolin the way you described in the video?

@Bryankimsey Год назад

I just don't have time to do it. Any competent luthier can do these things, though.

I just bought this mando. The first thing I did was cut a new nut. Gold Tone's zero fret nuts suck.

Hi, Mr. Kimsey, Did you add the strap button, or was that stock? :) Thanks!

@Bryankimsey 4 года назад

Pretty sure I added it. But I don't remember for sure.

@oddfellowfloyd 3 года назад

@@Bryankimsey Hey again! Mind if I ask you about the strap button you have? Where it's placed (the side towards treble), do you find that it lets the instrument tip forward, like it's pulled top-wise toward the floor, or does it stay pretty flat against you? I'm just asking because I'm wondering whether to place a strap button on the side of the neck heel, like yours, or directly on top (parallel to the neck)...? Which do you think would let it sit flatter like a guitar would? Thanks, and peace! :) ~ Justin

@Bryankimsey 3 года назад

It was fine on the heel, for me. I only had the mando for a few months and sold it and never really played it standing up. But I have played A-style mando with a button there. Put the button closer to the f/board, not the heel, and it'll pull the instrument back into you.
