A few years back I posted having acquired a John Hamlett F5 mandolin. And I swooned over it and recommended to anyone looking for a builder that John should be included for consideration. Well I now have one of his A models, #40, and can't say enough good things about this one NFI. I will reiterate to all those looking for a new mandolin to put him on the short list of builders. We all know John, a.k.a. Sunburst, for his insightful contributions here on the Cafe. Many are less familiar first hand with the gorgeous sounding and looking instruments he makes. Thanks John!
