{"product_id":"1931-martin-style-a-mandolin-used-26490","title":"1931 Martin Style A Mandolin - Used","description":"While Martin continued to offer the Style A model for many years, this example from 1931 is far lighter than later versions and so has a louder and more lively tone.  Other early touches include rosewood binding, an ebony fingerboard, and a thin faux tortoiseshell pickguard that's inlaid into the Adirondack spruce top.  The short string scale makes it a joy to play (scale length is a full 3\/4\" shorter than Gibson's mandolin scale), so it's great for old time tunes or folk music in general.  Comes with the original hardshell case.
