Re: Gibson F2 and F4 mandolins.
Well, when you put it that way ... What's stopping anyone from getting one?
Kidding aside, if I'd gotten my hands on that F-4 I almost had, that would have been two months' rent, or a bit less than two months' pay at the time of retirement. I'd advise against using these figures as a guide though, since rents here are ridiculously high, probably close to twice the national average. Which would bring that estimate down to that same four months' pay. On the other hand, the new-to-me 1916 A-2 I just got for about a month's rent ... that is probably still a pretty good deal, from this perspective.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
