What's the difference between a Gibson Master Model F5V built in Bozeman and a Flatiron of the same year, both signed by Weber? I've been trying to come up to speed on this era under Gibson. I've seen several messages on the difference in neck joints b/t the two brands (mortise and tenon vs dovetail) and bracing (X vs. tone bars). I think these differences existed before the move to Nashville. Right? They seem to fall into two entirely different resale classes now and I'm just trying to figure it all out. What am I missing? :confused:
