This 1924 Gibson A-4 in Red Sunburst is a stunning example of Lloyd Loar–era craftsmanship, remarkably well-preserved for its century of life. The finish shows beautiful, honest wear with light dings and scratches that only enhance its vintage character without detracting from its visual appeal. An added K&K pickup brings out its warm, resonant tone when amplified, complementing its naturally rich and expressive acoustic voice. Despite its age, the playability is excellent—smooth, responsive, and deeply satisfying under the fingers. With its blend of originality, patina, and exceptional condition, this A-4 is a true joy to play and a testament to the enduring magic of Gibson’s early mandolin design.  Comes with the OHSC.
*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.
