There is a very nice '15 Gibson A model for sale in the classifieds (NFI). The seller has some great photos in PhotoBucket and it's in the Mandolin Archive. It's a great looking mandolin and I wish the seller luck, but I have a question. (It probably should be posted in "General Discussions," but I know I'll get the best answers here.)
The closeup shots make the wood look a lot like mahogany to me. I'm sure it is NOT, but doesn't it look a lot like it? Also, the bridge is a design I've not seen before. It appears to have an separate saddle, perhaps adjustable. What's the word on these?
