This 1912 Gibson A-4 is a beautifully preserved oval-hole mandolin from the golden age of Gibson craftsmanship. Featuring a carved spruce top, maple back and sides, and the original ebony finish, it offers a warm, rich tone with excellent sustain and clarity. Appointed with a bound oval soundhole and pearl “The Gibson” inlay it’s a striking and highly musical piece of early 20th-century Americana. Check out the Specs tab for the full details. It comes with a non-original hardshell case. 

*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.
