I don't consciously dislike a sunburst, some I like, some I don't, but I have not fallen in love with one the way I have with a sheraton brown, a blonde, etc.

Re: Groupings
I'm hoping that Dan Beimborn checks on this thread:
Dan, I "missed" when I hit on the link and got sent to the first thread and saw your Stephen Owsley Smith mandolin. Two quick questions:
1) That wasn't the SOS instrument you used on your CD's was it? I think I remember the pics being of another, and
2) Do you have any updates on whether he is currently making instruments? I know he made quite a splash with some of his fine octaves and such a few years back, then I think kinda disappeared.
Thanks!

Shaun, is there a Kimble K style mandocello in the works? That'll finish up the family quite nicely.

Here's a couple of old Gibsons sun bathing. See if you can guess the year and model!
Re: Groupings
"A couple" implies around two. I'd call five a bunch.
Looking good. Must be nice!

Nice photo. Everything looks good in the spring sunshine. Is that a snakehead mandola? Or is the photo perspective/foreshortening confusing me?Here's a couple of old Gibsons sun bathing. See if you can guess the year and model!
