    Re: Gibson's 1923 F-5 Master Model Reissue

    Thanks Scott. Yes, someone at Gibson has their wires crossed. I don't know who at this point, but I would like to have a definitive answer. Here's the question I posed and answer I received from...

    Re: Gibson's 1923 F-5 Master Model Reissue

    Scott, I was curious about this since it wasn't openly discussed in the advertising and I contacted David Harvey and he told me absolutely they were constructed using hide-glue only. That is the 1923...

    Re: Top Current Makers

    IMO, this is the golden era for Paul and Duff Mandolins. He's built enough, played enough Loars (the sound he's emulating) and just overall got the right feel and tone/sound on his latest F5's....
  5. Re: Are there already any pros playing the new 1923 reissue?

    Dan, yes, but there's just one thing, they do not say "The Gibson" on the headstock and therefore are really just copies/clones/knock-offs of the true original F5. While others may not agree, I feel...

    I'm just curious, do you think using this Lloyd Loar label with his signature is any different that Gibson using Bill Monroe's signature on the limited HOF models? I personally think anyone buying...
  7. Re: Is Gibson Getting Ready to Roll Out Some New Models?

    It's probably too late to make the premier scheduled release video private now. For those that did miss it, it was a 1923 Gibson Master Model Reissue that is slated for press release at 10/10/2023. I...

    Re: Stelling Mandolin up for auction

    As far as selling price, there's a big price difference based on who the luthier was, especially Ward Elliott and Dave Houchins built S-5's. These would be priced in the 5K range, flucuating based on...

    Sam, just some information that most get wrong about shipper/buyer insurance and damage. The seller is responsible for the damaged item. Under normal law, the contract is the seller will sell an item...

    Re: Distressed Master Model ....question

    Just my opinion, but a broad range here, depending on originality and sound, should be 13.5K to 17.5K.

    Re: Mandolin Serial Number Decoder--Gibson

    Geno, you are exactly right. That's how to decode the serial number in Gibson mandolins after I know 1995 and up, maybe even before.

    Re: Derrington signed A5l MasterModel?

    I know this can be and is very confusing. But, I think if you look at the "Style" entry on the label and it's just "F5", for the most part, I think this indicates a Master Model style. I know some of...

    All Gibson mandolins are master models, but not all master models are a master model.

    Re: 2020 Duff A5

    Gabriel, I saw that one when I picked up my Duff A5. That is a wonderful sounding mandolin. The tone Paul gets from his mandolins are superb and I love the midrange that seems to be the signature...

    I received my Duff A5 yesterday and after 16 hours of acclimation, I was able to open it this morning. Thought I would share some pictures of Duff A5 25520. Purchased from Carter Vintage Guitars.
