Is there such a thing?
I asked the concert mistress of the Long Island Mandolin and Guitar Orchestra what kind of mandolin she played and she said "Gibson A-12". It didn't look like anything I have seen before or since. I think it was made after 1950.
She didn't get it herself. Jack Matlin, the founder of the Long Island Mandolin and Guitar Orchestra, got it for her.
So if anybody has a picture of a Gibson A-12 please post!
