    I believe that that is the professional model. I have an Artist (4point) and an Amateur (no points).

    I like it. But then, who doesn't like bacon?

    Looks like the middle model and from the 30's. I'd like to find a nice 30's Walter K. Bauer signature artist model.

    Any guess on the over/under? Price vs. similar Gibson A models?

    Obviously a "real" Bacon Artist is worth more on the open market than the Eastman copy, but where do the "lesser" models rank?
