Looking for help
I am looking to find years, makes, models of mandolins, preferably F style that have a neck similar to my 1963 Gibson, A5, two point, jethro burns model. The nut is 1 3/16", fretboard is flat, and neck profile is a "c" shape. I have been beating the bushes on this, contacting a good number of the main players in the mandolin sales world, for about a year with no success. Seems they either do not know the answer or the majority can't find the time to respond to my question. I found it strange that even Gibson could not answer the question, wish I knew how to contact Dave Harvey. Some have said that mid 50's F-12's would fit the requirements, others say not. Same with the F-7's and Sam Bush models. At any rate if anyone has any suggestions as to what I should be looking for, I would appreciate it. Steve
