Good question. With no similar instruments to compare it to I'd say that it would be invaluable to be able to play it before forming any conclusions. Short of that, it's a crapshoot, unless someone kows of the luthier and his work.

One of my favorite quotes,BTW, is "I was offered $5000 for this awhile back. But now I'm willing to let it go for $950". Pretty hilarious.

Already a thread you can read on this at 30's F, Not a Gibson (http://www.mandolincafe.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=13;t=31377)

Only a few posts on it too.
