    Re: Gibson A40 (1954)

    If you are going to play only bluegrass, the Kentucky will do the job. For an all-rounder I'd take the Gibson. I have a 1949 A40, and it's a very nice mandolin!

    Re: Less Collectible Gibson's

    My 1949 A 40 bought thirty years ago, is a very good sounding mandolin (avatar). I had a 2003 Gibson A9 for a while,but sold it. It was a bit louder, but the A 40 blew it away tonewise. I't's a great...

    Re: Thoughts on the Gibson F9?

    I owned a 2003 A9 for some years, but could not adjust to the neck. It was loud, but I found out that I actually prefered the tone on my 1949 A40, so the A9 got sold.

    Re: Reischman superb tone.

    Sharon's mando is a bit deeper, which make it sound a bit bassier and louder. As for tone, that is something else. Sharon is a great player, by the way.

    Nothing beats the tone of John and his Loar.

    Re: Gibson A-9 information wanted

    Had a 2003 A9 for a while, was meant to be an upgrade from my 1949 A40. The sound was fine, but I could never adjust to the neck and the nut. My old A40 played way easier, and that's the one I still...

    The Jam Master is the same as an F-9, but with a radiused board and slightly wider nut.

    I was thinking of the builder who made original F-style mandolins that sounded good and cost $500. THAT is a good deal!
