Their description makes it sound like a wonderful instrument, but I have no idea if they say that about every instrument.

It's gone now. Did anyone here buy it?

Nice mando. Very wide grain on the top. Purty, for sure.
It seems Gils have wide grained tops quite a bit to acheive a certain tonal style.
Any opinions, or is THAT a silly question!?!?:grin:

I've owned,played, bought and sold a lot of old gibson A models..Seems to me that the wider the grain the better,louder and fuller the sound,particularly the sheraton brown A-2's..they usually seem to have a wider grain than the pumpkin tops..I think there is something to it..

Sorry for the late response. Yes, I bought this one last summer. It came along at the perfect intersection of opportunity and availability. It's a wonderful mandolin.
