Hard choice. Could easily be either Lloyd LaPlant mandolin owned/played by Bob Douglas or Dick Kimmel. But the Gibson Fern Dick used to have is also a contender.
But it just might be the Austin Clark F-5 owned by a friend. It's an early one and the quality and sound of the instrument never fails to impress me. My duo partner's Gibson A-4 with inlaid tuners is also a contender. Amazing burst on that instrument.
