I have never posted photos on this forum, so I don't know if the link below will work, but here goes. I bought a Flatiron F model mandolin five or six years ago and am curious what model it is. I bought it because it is a well made and great sounding and playing instrument. The label is signed by Bruce Weber.

I have seen the F models advertised as "Festivals", "Artists", and maybe a few other names, but my label ony says F-5 Sunburst.

Not a big deal, just curious!

Couldn't download your photos Links, but from the description, it sounds like a regular F-5 model from Flatiron. I had one (made in about '92, signed by Bruce) in a chocolate brown, with no burst. It was a great mandolin, and I believe it now resides with a player in Sweden.

I've got a '95 Artist F5 I'm trying to get rid of if anyone wants to see it, I'll bring it to the Joe Val BG Festival in February.
