Epiphone VS Gibson longevity
Переглядів 853 роки тому
How much value are your really getting when you choose a glossy import over a plain USA guitar. Looks and fell are not the only things we should look at when selecting a guitar. Ive personally repaired more Gibsons and Epiphones than I can count, this is my take on which way to go for the thrifty consumer.

      Hi, I don’t have a formal store for mandolins. I only make instruments based on orders. I’ve mostly been doing more intricate wood carvings now to satisfy my artistic side. More than happy to make a mandolin though. Reach me through mcdannaldwoodworks.com.

  • @oldbikerbear
    @oldbikerbear 3 роки тому

    I like them both to be honest. I think much would depend on the music you pley, for instance if you play bluegrass, country style music the F hole would be a better choice but if , like me, you play a lot of Celtic and classical music then the oval hole would definitely be the mandolin of choice. I have tried both styles and I find that when playing bluegrass I dont get the high, ringing tone my loved in the music , but ,with the oval hove sounds much better on Celtic music. Also , and yes I know this is more about hand position than anything, however, my fingers get caught in the F hole when playing Celtic on it and not in the oval.

  • @freshelfpie
    @freshelfpie 3 роки тому

    Really dig the pointed scroll. Don't think I have seen that elsewhere. All else being equal, I think the A had a fatter tone, F had less low and more attack. I know this is what everyone says about this comparison every time but. eh. No one can really explain it, except maybe scroll and points just give it a little extra mass? Or maybe the F just SEEMS punchier because its a narrower range of frequencies so more focused? Dunno. I am playing a chinese Eastman and lusting after Colings A-styles at the moment. You're doing nice work!

  • @HEADLINEZOO
    @HEADLINEZOO 3 роки тому

    The smaller F hole opening produces a higher definition of tone in much the same way a smaller aperture on a camera or a squinting of the eyes produces a clearer more hi-def picture. I bet you could get a combo of both within the same mandolin. The F hole one sounds to my ear like it’s 3 times as pricey as the O hole one based on sound quality. The O is far more muddled.

    Yep. There's a trade off with a scarf joint. You avoid the weak point, but yeah you get a different set of problems. I think the fix for Gibsons is to just take care of the damned thing.

    Why did you decide to go with Tele-style saddles instead of bridges with 6 independently adjustable saddles?

    • @quintonmcdannald2327
      @quintonmcdannald2327 5 років тому

      Why not, it's twangy? There is something inherently right about it to me when you go with TV Jones or tele pickups to get those big brass saddles under the strings. These compensated saddles really get you there, not perfect, but there.
