    Re: 2008 Gibson A5?

    barrangtan, I thought so too, but the headstock and fingerboard were bound. The label read just "A5", no signature.

    2008 Gibson A5?

    Today at a shop I played a 2008 Gibson A5, brand new, has been hanging on their wall since early 2009. It wasn't an A5-L, and didn't have back binding. But for some reason I thought there hadn't been...

    When did they start making Gibson F9s?

    Can anybody here comment on the evolution of the F9? I'm curious to know when and why it came about. Anyone here still own an older F9, like before the 2002 restyling? How's it playing nowadays?

    Re: Jesse McReynolds new mandolin

    Jesse's tone has never been the kind that Loar's are generally known for, and while I'm sure he wouldn't turn one down if you offered to give it to him, he has likely had his opportunities over the...
