I'm looking forward to taking it caroling this year. It'll be a bluegrass christmas for sure (12 string, mando, 2 fiddles, and a harmonica :mrgreen: ). And I call myself indian...

Merry Christmas, please come again. :wink:

About that rogue...is it smart to try and glue the bridge onto the top after you've placed it right? I don't fancy realigning it everytime I want to change strings...

Nice mando though (and musiciansfriend even sent me 2 when I ordered one, lol). Too bad I couldn't keep it...

Never heard of anyone doing it.

You home now Mark?

Didn't miss much. :shock:

DON'T glue the bridge, it's supposed to be moveable to fix intonation problems!

Change your strings one, or one pair at a time, so the bridge stays put, or, if you must remove them all at once, mark the spot with gentle tape until you put it back, but best to keep it in place, but not glued, as you may need to adjust the position due to weather, string differences, etc.

Just the standard travails of the Mando Life.
