I'm not raised with mandolin models or stringed instruments in general so I think it's quite confusing with all these model names.
I have a Washburn M2SW. It has F holes, but not that little thing beside the neck that the typical bluegrass model, the F5, has. Go to Cyber Mandolin and look at the pictures. My Washburn model is in the middle. Would you call it an A style or F style mandolin? I would call it an F style mando because it has F holes. If not, what makes a mandolin an F or A style, if not the holes? I know many folks say my mandolin is an A style, and I've never understood why.
I'd be glad to have that explained!
