Mark Clark F-style or A-style mandolin? (21) RE: F-style or A-style mandolin? 04 Nov 09


The prevailing wisdom is that “A” referenced the Artist series and “F” referenced the Florentine series of mandolins. This makes sense except Gibson was known to violate that nomenclature on occasion. Charles Johnson maintains “A Brief History Of Gibson Mandolins” page on his “Mandolin world Headquarters...and Guitars!” Web site that provides more detail without being exhaustive.
