Description

Hailing from the peak of Steve Carlson’s Bozeman, Montana era, this mandolin represents some of his finest craftsmanship. It has been meticulously cared for and remains in excellent condition, showing only minor finish scratches. The instrument delivers a bright, crisp, and musical tone that’s clear without any brittleness. While the original tailpiece has been replaced, it is included in the case along with a Gibson warranty repair receipt—though there is no visible evidence of any repair work. Comes with OHC

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
