Reply to Gibson J-15 from the Bozeman factory
I can only offer anecdotal, but I’ve also had a couple overset Gibsons from 2010-2019 with crazy high saddles and low action. I guess it future proofs the build a bit, but sacrifices some tonal range for the first *checks notes* 20 years.

Electric mandolin headstock repair - a previous glue and screw job used....
Hey!
So I’ve got a customer who has dropped off with me one of the nastier headstock breaks I’ve seen in recent memory.

Reply to Taylor 410CE possible bad output jack
Yes, you can get the ES 1.3-9v retro kit from Taylor. It does come with a AA power supply. But, make sure to get in there with a mirror first. There could be a ball end or steel wool on the magnetic top sensor that will cause static, distortion and all kinds of funky noise. You can use another strong magnet to pull the steel wool off…

Reply to Taylor 410CE possible bad output jack
I had one in the shop not long ago… batteries were completely corroded! There is a mod for those… are we allowed to link YouTube videos on here? It’s not my video, but it does explain the mod…
