1919 Gibson A-3 Mandolin
$ 1,000.00
Condition: Good condition. Top has been re-finished to white. The job was done clean with only some small imperfections noticeable at the very top of the bouts. Overall a good job making this a very unique piece. A small strap peg was added underneath the headstock on back. These are the only modifications. Top back sides and neck show almost no noticeable wear. There is no structural damage.
Body: Symmetrical double bound teardrop body with original tailpiece cover bearing "The Gibson" logo, ebony bridge, and oval soundhole with two inlaid rings.
Neck: 16 1/2" scale length bound mahogany "V" shaped neck with zero radius ebony fingerboard, mother of pearl dot inlays, black dot fret position markers, and 1.24" nut width. Headstock features "The Gibson" inlay with decorative floral inlay both in mother of pearl. Original tuners are in perfect working condition.
Weight: 1lb, 14.5oz.
Playability/Sound: Very comfortable neck. Easy to apply different fingering configurations for lead notes or chords. This mandolin has a deep round tone. Lows, mids, and highs all ring with equality and clarity. The volume this instrument produces paired with it's unique finish truly make this a one of a kind mandolin.
Case: Includes original hardshell
