Re: Gibson A2Z
While you're waiting here are a few threads to look at. It has been a journey of discovery on these as what was originally thought to be only natural finished tops has changed. Here's a description from Dan Beinborn the proprietor of the Mandolin Archive:

And here is every thread with the mention of A2Z on the Cafe.

As for Stan and Company and the rest of the early experts in the field, they only knew what they saw. They didn't have the benefit of linking together with thousands of other people. In the years I've been here I've seen several Gibson models that didn't previously exist suddenly pop out from under someone's bed and we've discovered what the letters L and G meant as well. We stand on the shoulders of giants and recognize all of the people that started amassing this great data set regarding mandolins.
