$ 1,800.00
Condition: 100% original. Very good condition. Play wear scratches and a few tiny nicks are visible on the top. Sides have a few small scratches, and the back has some weather checking and hazing toward the middle. Some lacquer on neck has worn away due to normal play wear. Fingerboard shows very small divots in the first three frets, and no string indentation on any frets.
Body: Bound spruce top, with mahogany back and sides. Original tailpiece cover plate, ebony bridge, and bound soundhole.
Neck: 16 ½" scale length two piece bound "V Shaped" mahogany neck with zero radius ebony fingerboard, mother of pearl dot inlays, black dot fret position markers, and 1.21" nut width. Headstock features "The Gibson" logo, and original tuners in perfect working condition.
Weight: 1lb, 12.0oz.
Playability/Sound: Truly an exceptional mandolin. Neck profile makes this instrument as comfortable as ever. Spruce top allows notes and chords to resonate allowing all the transients to ring smooth and evenly. Tons of volume.
