Re: Spann's Guide To Gibson 1902-1941
Jeff, I like where your post is heading. I think Jim Garber was able to track the production of his Embergher to the actual workbench of the guy who was sitting next to Luigi himself. This obviously led to discussion as to whether the maestro got his hands on this mandolin as well. As you say it is amazing to start linking up these databases between the factory, the historical image and the (still with us) mandolin itself. I've got a 1916A and you bet I'll be getting a copy of Joe's book with your very question in mind.
