Another victim of political correctness. With these two, it had the chance to be an exceptional cover, but ended up a cop-out.

Great description, Shaun. And to clarify the earlier question, the answer is always “the sound of Matt Flinner’s Gil” <g>!
From Atlanta Vintage Guitar? That's where I think I saw it, when I posted originally.
Shaun - Those are two that would be hard to part with. The only mando I really miss was a Kimble A5.
I don't think I've done this before:
Weber Bitterroot
Flatiron Performer A
Collings MT2 (PMTOB)
Duff F5
Mix A5
Kimble A5
Weber Gallatin Oval Hole
Rigel A+ Deluxe
I think Jarrod Walker (along with John Teer) is one of the most least-talked-about-but-everybody-should-be mandolin players that you can see today.
Here’s mine - the headstock of my F5Jr, on my right shoulder.

Anyone know anything about this builder? I played a copy of a master model (with Gibson on the headstock) that he built in the...
The Blue Chip TPR shape seems closest to the Wegens to me. I was a devoted Wegen guy until I bought my first BC. I switched and have TPR 60s on all of my main instruments. The shape, of both, is...
"Brilliancy" - it shows off a great range of the instrument. And I just have to remember to not start it too stinking fast...
"Harbor of Love" on that new CD is the one that I can't stop listening to. As far as mandolin, his version of Billy the Kid makes me want to play mandolin like him every time I hear it.
I've been playing guitar for 46 years, and mandolin for the last eleven years. I dabbled with mandolin for the first four years, but decided that there were always guitars at jams and never enough...
I haven't had a chance to play AT16 at Cotten, but I did play the blond one that they had there 2-3 years ago. First off - it was a beautifully finished instrument. I've never seen a poorly...
Yes, it is. And now, there's this gorgeous F4 junior at TME from the same batch as the F5 junior.

Six years ago, later this summer, I was on the hunt for a mandolin. I went to Nashville and played several great mandolins twice that summer. Then the 5 Junior on the right appeared for sale (it...
Congrats on the new mando. Have fun experimenting with picks and strings. My Gil felt tight until I put the D'Addario CM strings on it. The extra tension on the A and E really seem to drive the...
Here's the batch that includes mine (#667). I received the pictures from Steve after I purchased it. It looks like there were 8 Fives in that batch.

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.
