• Front of Gibson A-4 Mandolin

    A Gibson classic, this A-style mandolin has been over-sprayed and re-fretted previously, and plays and sounds lovely. The spruce top has been re-finished in natural, cherry stained finish on the maple back and sides. With an oval soundhole, ebony fingerboard and newer bridge. Fitted with Handel tuners with inlayed ivoroid buttons. Appointments of rope-patterned marquetry and ivoroid binding on body and neck. Hardshell case. Made in USA. On Consignment.


    This product is in Very Good condition (Learn More)

    Condition Notes: Has had lots of finish work with spots of over-spray, newer nut, previous neck reset and refret, top-brace reglued, and repaired headstock cracks.
