    Gibson A with F Holes

    Any idea on the rough age (time frame) for this supposed gibson? I don't have the instrument in person, but am told that there are no labels or markings inside.

    Thanks!

    Re: Speed Bevels

    Thanks for the response. That makes sense. I will have to look more closely at my picks. I have always used a right-hand bevel, for no apparent reason, but curious what a rounded bevel is like.

    I may have missed it in the FFCP materials, but does anyone have links to finger patterns for minor and pentatonic scales using the FFCP?

    I understand how the theory works, but really...

    Gibson A neck joint location.

    Pardon my ignorance. Speaking of 20s-30s Gibson A mandolins. At which point did they start building them with the neck joint closer to the bridge, allowing the player to more easily play up the...
