I know there are a lot of builders who make flat tops and or Reproduction Gibson Army-Navy Mandolins; has anyone every played several different versions side by side?
ie: how does a Poe Scout compare to a Crystal Forrest, compare to a Redline traveler, compare to a Flatiron 3M, compare to a Big Muddy, compare to a Morris, even compare to an original Gibson A/N pancake or Alright, and etc etc etc???... Mostly just curious really. I am saving up to get a pancake down the road and I'm mostly interested in a Crystal Forest, but don't want to turn down a Flatiron in the classifieds if the sound is comparable and esp if the price is right.
Thoughts?
