Pressed-top, husky-sounding, loud, and fairly close to that A-50 sound. Did this one for a customer. FON dates it to '35. I like. :D

Very nice, love the board stripe. Someone a few days ago posted some pix of the super kool F style Cromwell, looked neat, wish they would've posted more shots of her.

Muy especialoso, Jakito. I am deep in the Gibson off-brands fan club

Have you been hep to this Cromwell thread?:

Cromwell GM-6 (http://www.mandolincafe.com/forum/showthread.php?99190-Rare-Gibson-made-Cromwell-GM-6)

I think this is the one Seņor Arboleda de Azucar was referring to.
