View Full Version : F4 gibsons
Anyone know what years the engraved Handel tuners were offered on the old F4s? I'm guessing around the years up to around to early twentys but not sure. Thanks

I think when WW1 broke out against Germany that's when it quit http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif Wasn't that around 1916 http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif Ofcourse Gibson may have had a supply stocked up to last a short while

Dan B or Darryl or Tommy would know better than me, but I believe they were discontinued before 1920...

you still see some 1918 4's and 2's with them, but not many. I think they were just using up what they had, if /I remember what I read correctly. There are others here that know much more than I do about it, though.
