    Jamie:
    A nice concise collection. I had owned and am somewhat nostalgic for a whitefaced A3 (my first Gibson) and currently own a nice F4. Which one do you turn to first to play?

    Nice... I logged quite a few hours in that studio back in my BM days (Before Mando). I saw it go from slab to studio and even helped paint. Brent's one hell of a mando player. Wish I had picked his brain then... better late than never though. So here's my grouping:

    Laura Ratcliff #21, BRW #44 and Rose #10...

    It's stamped, just unusually clear. needs a tiny bit more gentle rubbing to get the fingerprints off!
