    Today I happened to look at the label inside my Gibson Adam Steffey F5 and noticed that his name ('Steffey') was mis-spelled ('Steffy')! # Being the curious sort, I also checked the warranty card, and sure enough, same issue! #

    To quote Homer Simpson; #DOH! #

    Oh well, I am really enjoying the mando and just thought I would share! #Anybody else got any interesting 'builder quirks' that they have uncovered? # (and/or anybody else with a Steffey have the same situation?) #

    I can only say that some people don't "spel two goodly"! Just today I saw a sign for a tattoo parlor that read "Body Mark's." People love to put the apostrophe with plural forms for some reason. I also had an essay recently from a student who wrote about the "value of a collage education." Well, at least Gibson knows how to make a good mandolin. They just need a proofreader for those labels!

    Maybe that is why Steffey switched to a Daley!

    Some folks really get upset with misspelled werds, I can't tell you how many times my name has been spelled Simson.

    That's almost as bad as my Loud Liar model...

    My first thought was that the parlor was owned by someone named Mark.

    I can check into that, but I bet the owner just doesn't know grammar!

    Arbarnhart- Loud Liar. Sounds like a good name for an IV kit mando. Everyone says how loud they are. LOL!

    My Gibson Master Model somehow ended up with "Eastman" on the headstock. #I bet this is worth a lot of money. #Any offers? #
