    Re: Linda Lou my Gibson

    That's a plain style A with a "snakehead" peghead, built in 1923, and shipped in 1925.
    An A-2 would have bindings around the fingerboard and fancier rings around the soundhole.

    Re: Pawn Shop F5L

    The last digit is the decade of manufacture, and the first digit is the year of the decade.
    So 0283109 is 1990.

    The numbering system on mandolins is different from the system used on guitars.

    So #58 arrived yesterday. Has very a balanced sound and rings true and well up the neck. Almost piano like past the 14th fret.

    Came in yesterday. #58. Plays very well all the way up the neck. The sound is very balanced. The neck was made to my specs and is just what I was looking for.

    Bill,

    Sounds great! I found Roy here in the builder's section and liked his no frills presentation on his web site. He is very easy to communicate with, and clearly uses some fine woods.
