I am pretty sure Gibson did not make any plywood, flat topped mandolins. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif

I love these guys on Ebay who list these things obviously knowing ZERO about them and then confidently state that it is structurally sound and easy to get into playing condition.

I think this was on there about a month ago, also, same listing. I could be wrong, don't think I am.

I think I posted a link about a month ago to it.
