Hello all. I've got a Sigma F style mandolin, model SM-6S made in Korea, that I purchased a few years ago for cheap. The mandolin sounds good and plays easy. Just wondering if anybody else has one and if anybody can tell me what years these mandolins were produced or any other general information of interest? I see them every blue moon on ebay which is where I purchased the one I have? I can follow the grain looking into the f hole and follow it to the backside so it at least seems the back is solid and not laminate. Thanks for any and all replies.
