I'm pretty sure that the A5 Jr. will have an elevated fretboard. There are a few other discussions of this on the forum, and most seem to be, at least. The integrated fretboard extension seem to be...

I'd buy that if I had the cash right now.
Congratulations!
(also... pics or it didn't happen) :cool:
Also... the Florida on the import ones are shaped differently, and factory scooped.
Right, but there's a pretty big difference in value between the imports and the US made ones, not wanting to overpay based on misidentification is perfectly reasonable.
Most of the pics of Old and in the Way show him playing a mando with block inlays... which would be his 25' Fern, I think? Which eventually had the fingerboard replaced.
Edit: Roberto beat me to...
Right, but the problem is the relative humidity in the environment that it's going to be stored, not the humidity outside.
But as soon as you start heating that room, that relative humidity is...
Kentucky has a bit of a reputation for redesigning mandolins and then reusing model numbers.
But, there's a sold KM-250s on Reverb that matches that description.

It is indeed potentially confusing. And to make it slightly more confusing, to quote the history page at Webermandolins.com: "In 1996, Gibson decided to move Gibson mandolin production to Nashville....
Yup... I actually used to own a (David) Webber guitar... we'll say that's probably why I occasionally add the extra "B" to Bruce's last name.
Definitely not a ukulele. And you don't seem to have any trouble with the concept of a 12-string guitar.
Yep, I totally messed that up. See... I said I was a dilettante.
I think we all feel exactly the same way.
Bald Cypress and Port Orford Cedar are in the same genus (Cupressaceae). Port Orford is used regularly as an "alternative tonewood" for guitars. But the reports on this site about using Port Orford...
Oh, and then throw in the Breedlove imports, TOH and Bend connections...lots of possible point of confusion.
Which thread? Do you have the link?
It doesn't seem unreasonable that someone got confused along the way. I mean, Bruce's sig has appeared in Flatirons and Gibsons and Webbers and STE branded...
Well, I'm still peering over the edge, but not quite as ready to leap as I was a few days ago.
The sentence should be "There is a ship, and it sails the sea." We have a gender neutral pronoun explicitly for that. The sentence you wrote might follow the maritime convention of coding the...
This is really the biggest issue. And I just haven't had a chance to play enough higher-end mandolins. The closest shop that stocks anything other than Eastman is 5 or 6 hours away (Music...
Two things about this have always seemed fairly evident. First is that men frequently express affection for, dote on, and even caress objects that they possess such as instruments and vehicles, and...
Thanks guys. Now I want an oval hole and an F5.
I will admit that I think the F5 headstocks are pretty silly looking and the kickstand can be a bit jabby.
At the end of the day, I guess what...
My Flatiron A5 pretty much meets all my tone and playability needs, plays very nice, sounds really good. But the heart wants what the heart wants, and i've been eyeing F styles in the +/- $4k range...
I was going to say something fairly similar. I also have been playing guitar for years, mostly acoustic, and have a pretty good sense of what a good guitar sounds like, and can pick up nuances in...
As I continue to cogitate on it. There was also a gap in the market for domestic instruments with Gibson's acquisition of Flatiron. You basically had a choice of a Gibson product, an import, or a...
Right. This is kind of the point that people seem to be making. If the OP were to chose banjo, and wanted to play both BG and Irish, he'd need to get two different instruments. With mandolin he...
