Hi all. I have been offered a 1981 Gibson AFG mandolin in trade. There is info online about A models, but very little on the A5G. The little I found is that it seems to be a model just below the A5L with less bling, binding and such. I have found nothing about any made in the early 80’s. FWIW, I am looking to upgrade from a Loar lm600, which plays well, but I think I can do better. Trading out some non mandolin gear that I am selling for $2000 as a set, or $2200 individually. The few A5 models I have found in previous sales have been priced more around 1200 to 1500. Am I missing something?
