Political dictatorships? The Roosevelt years? Who are you referring to, Oscar Roosevelt, Dictator of Offalistan?
This doesn't really doesn't make very much sense. I don't know my US history very well, but I assumed both Franklin and Teddy were elected.
I have Gibson mandolins made during the Wilson, FDR and Nixon administrations. A fairly broad political spectrum. They are all pretty rich instruments. I don't really play the guitar so I'll let others weigh in about those.
I do think the original thread on "Recordings of Note" is pretty interesting, though.
