    Default Michael Kelly label question

    Hey Michael Kelly fans. Can anyone make sense of this label. You would think that dlx would stand for Legacy Deluxe, but this mandolin has no flame, yet does have abalone block inlays, which according to everything I've seen would make it a Legacy FS. The first three letters are L then something unidentifiable, then a dash and another L before the DLX.. Any thoughts?

    I can’t offer much but I think the second L is actually a 5. Look at the bottom of said scribble.

    I can only add that I once owned a MK Firefly Custom that was the top of their line the year it was made (also made in Korea). It did not have any flame to the maple whatsoever, so I guess not unusual for MKs made in the Korean era.
    Thanks

    Several mandolins of varying quality-any one of which deserves a better player than I am.......

    I have an A-Solid I bought in 2004 from Folk of the Wood. Maybe 2 or 3 years ago I had a question about it and emailed them. They were quick to respond. I'd email that pic to the company and ask, bet you'll get a definitive answer.

    Good advice, but I already tried that. New owners that knew nothing. They are only making two Dragonfly models now. Every other model has been discontinued and they are now mainly guitars.
