    1. Looking for some answers
      Joe Zambrano

      ..Hey Jerry. My name is Joe and am in Bigfork, MT. I think I have a Gibson F-5L that may be made or inspected by you out of Kalamazoo MI. in 1980. If you are the one who signed the mandolin, you could settle a question that has been in my mind since I acquired the piece and that is what the L in F-5L stands for. I would appreciate any imput that you are able to bestow. Happy new year in any case.

  9. Whammy bar for Teisco MJ-2L
    J. Schwartz

    I purchased this guitar in the ’60s, but found that when playing, I kept repeatedly hitting my hand on the whammy bar. So I hack sawed it off, not thinking. Now that it’s vintage, I realise how dumb that was. Does anyone know of someone or a website that will replace it? Email me when you do.

    1. Re: Kay Model P4 Archtop with Full Kelvinator Headstock
      Joseph

      If it is of any interest to you, I just bought an old Kay Mandolin and it has P4 stamped inside, on the bass side. I was looking for the combination of P4 and Kay mandolin, and I got your note… I don’t think this tells you anything, except maybe that the P4 was probably not a model… which is what your note tells me, too. So, it looks like you’ve got a gem! I’ve got two Kay guitars, but none so dressed up as the one you desecribe!
      Hope you enjoy it!

      : Anybody know where I can find a pickguard for an old Epiphone Granada, and tuners if possible? I’ve been looking forever and can find nothing.

      The only ones that are available are on other guitars. Looked for years for one for mine. Saw a lot of broken pickguards on pawn shop guitars.
      Finally found a gem. It is not original, bur was cast in aluminum from an original pickguard. A steal on ebay for 30.00. Didn’t affect the sound at all.

      hope this helps,

      Mark
