kevinpaul Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I have a 1933 Gibson F5 Mandolin my dad bought new. I have been the care taker from 1969. I play it about 15 hours a week. It is like new, perfect. I am not sure what strings would be the best for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I've got a couple mandolins I built and I bought a couple sets of Curt Mangan strings. I had never heard of them but I figured I'd give them a shot. They sound great and hold their tune. I really didn't have any basis for comparison, none recent anyway. I built one in 2008 and one in 2009 and they still have them on there. I don't know anything about the company, where they're made or any of that, but I'm very happy with them.

kevinpaul Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 Curt Mangan strings. I will get them. I thank you very much, Martin strings are junk all around. Flat, dead and can't hold a tone. My wife picked a few set up because they were on sale. When my dead beat friends want me to tune up their guitars I stick a set of them on. I get rid of them that way. The people who want all for free, but when you need them they forgot you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
