Details
The "Z" prefix in the Factory Order Number (FON) is what dates this to 1952. It's a simple mandolin, with a fair amount of finish wear, but it plays easily thanks to a professional refret and delivers plenty of volume. Note that the original pickguard is missing, and the tuners have been replaced with a new set of Klusons that are almost exactly like the originals.
