This mandolin is a vibrant piece of history, over 100 years old and full of lively character. It delivers a bright, crisp tone and plays beautifully. Over the years, it has undergone som modifications and repairs, including a replaced nut, a neck reset, heel crack repair, a doweled strap button hole, a new bridge, some overspray, and this is a finish reaction on the headstock. This instrument is perfect for a new player seeking quality or for anyone looking to own a classic, well-loved Gibson mandolin with plenty of charm. Comes with period HC
