1904 Gibson A Style Mandolin
In fair condition. This mandolin has had numerous repairs within its 120 year life. There are three spline repairs visible on the back of the headstock as well as a repair to a crack across the front of the headstock. The headstock and neck have been refinished. All repairs are stable and appear to be professionally done. There is a repaired crack in the neck heal and to the top below the bridge. Again, these repairs appear to be professionally done and are very stable. The tuning machines are more modern replacements. Frets show moderate wear but still have life left. The neck is straight and is playable up and down the neck. This mandolin still plenty of volume and the early Gibson mandolin tone. The serial number is faint but appears to be 3440. The stamp below the label reads Order No. 171. Includes a modern hard -shell case. Being sold as described, as is.
