1916 Gibson A1 Mandolin

(Serial number 25364 FON 2653) Excellent condition, natural top finish. This is the classic teens Gibson mandolin. Shows some typical wear on the top edge where your arm comes over, some case wear on the upper sides. There are a few very minor nicks and dings but nothing serious as seen in the pics. Otherwise, its a clean and all original mandolin. Original finish and hardware. Neck is straight, no repairs noted, and it sounds and plays great! Just set up by my luthier. Plays very easy and has strong volume with a very balanced sound. Excellent for Celtic, jazz, classical, or old-time music. Comes with the original hardshell case.
