Now approaching a century old, this A-Jr. has developed the dry, woody voice that makes these early Gibson mandolins so appealing. The response is quick and lively, with a focused fundamental that suits traditional fiddle tunes, old-time music, and plenty beyond those styles. It also serves as a reminder of a period when mandolins were part of everyday American music-making, from front porches and family parlors to community gatherings across the country. Honest, functional, and full of character, this 1920s Gibson A-Jr. captures exactly what these early carved mandolins do so well without asking for much more than a pick and a tune.
Includes a HSC.
