    I was just about to buy it until I noticed it still has the Florida on it. Sorry guys, I will have to pass on this beauty. In all seriousness those are great pics.

    Like I said in some other threads... post a soundclip. The F-10 soundclip was just fine. Go for it and post a Lloyd Loar soundclip.

    Very nice! The back binding seems comparatively narrow. Retrofret, was the back off at one point, as far as you know?

    Mandolin perfection! Feb 18th's are the best batch in my opinion! Well I still want their F-10! It would go great with my prewar 7's and 12!
