Nice video! I have a 1978 Henderson mandolin. At the time I got it everyone was wanting an old 23 or 24 Loar mandolin and Wayne was putting The Gibson on the mandolins he made. Gibson got upset and he stopped doing that. My mandolin is the last one he made with The Gibson on it, Inside he put a sticker that it was a copy of a Gibson and he signed his name. He had been putting the Gibson sticker on the inside and signing Loyde Loars name just like Loar. My Henderson is a killer mandolin and I will put it up against any old Loar mandolin.
