In the past years my main focus has turned to the original instruments of Orville Gibson as well as those built at the start of the company still in his style of build. I posted this on Facebook in the Vintage GIbson Flattop Guitar group but figure I should also post here for those that would not get a chance to check it out there. I’m not going to do a huge detailed post right now, perhaps later. Here is the small description I included on that FB post. Feel free to add any questions or comments either here or within that post.

Pre-1898 Orville Gibson made "A-style" mandolin. Iconic in it's simplicity. The birth of an instrument form now synonymous with the word mandolin (along with the "F-style"...also an original Orville design)
