In a way, I'm saddened by the numbers of people giving up these treasures, but it's not so bad for those of us who want them. This mando is a keeper, I don't regret my trade (I think Kate at Maple Leaf in Brattleboro thinks I'm mad though. Not to mention they stressed how non-invasive the luthier is.)Īpparently, my 205 is a later model as well, I think the number begins 39. I'm heartened as the folks I brought it to recognized the instrument and its difficulties (the question/statement, "Your tuners work ok, right? You know you can't replace those easily, they haven't made those in 40 years" speaks volumes itself. I will recant this experience upon completion. My new Vega is off to a luthier I have no experience with for a new saddle and set-up (I'm going with Thomastik Mittels for this, I hope they aren't too heavy - though I recall somebody having used these on old Cylinderbacks).
