can anyone tell me the relationship of Gibson and Epiphone mandolins? are they both made by gibson? my husband bought me a santa rosa mandolin last year (to learn on), and now i am looking to get a nicer one and i've heard these are a nice step up. thanks cj Bluegrass Bulletin Board brought to you by the fan club of Dr Ralph Stanley & His Clinch Mountain Boys subscribe or unsubscribe at http://drralphstanley.com/
