1919 Gibson Style A Mandolin - Used

Details

CHECK DESCRIPTION BEFORE POSTING

One of the cleanest Gibson Style A models we've had in a long while and an example that checks all the boxes for condition, originality, playability, and tone. No sign of repairs and no sign any were ever needed. Nice straight neck, equally flat pickguard, all tuner buttons have straight shafts and everything works. Pretty amazing when you realize it's over 100 years old. Includes a nice gig bag.
