I am not one of the fortunate Gibson mandolin owners, however I do have a very old Washburn G model (made in Chicago) with a Shadow saddle pickup. Of the three image choices there are two that work very well, at least they do to what little credibility these ears may have. The GWB147M100 gives a gorgeous full resonant quality while the GWB 4011M100 has a slightly thinner tone, crisper and curiously distant character. I love them both and why not, I get two mandolins out of the deal! I tried not to get too excited when I saw there was a mandolin patch available, since it wasn't my model... and then I began setting them up. Wow, what a surprise! A very worthwhile download for the mandolin. The only downside was the GWBE47M100. It just didn't work for me and I knew it right away. I strongly advise getting them all. You can always punt the one(s) you don't want and free up space. Thanks guys! M. Smith Barrie, ON Canada
