Does anyone have an opinion about the quality inference of guns stocked to the fences or not stocked to the fences?

Sort of a style type thing like chopper lumps, etc. Most folks say stocked to the fences is better, depending if you are a buyer or seller, but let's not forget Boss best guns were not stocked to the fences until sometime after 1900. Same goes for Stephen Grant bests.

When I think of mandolins, I think of the Gibson Lloyd L-something series, came out in the 1920's- now as for flat-top guitars- I'll like both my 1964 Martin HD-35 with the 3 pc. back, and profiled neck- and my later Taylor with the cut-away and a slightly longer neck with more frets. My mandolin playing pal also is a fair guitar flat picker, he has a D42 Martin- if I'm real polite in our Bluegrass gigs (banjo, dobro and upright bass also make up our 5 man band of pickers) he'll let me play it- indoors--

It would be difficult to assess the difference in the strength of the action forms without knowing the structure under the locks.

or if that is even a matter of consequence.
