(Serial No. 25364 FON 2653) Excellent minus condition. The A4 was the top of the line for the Gibson A style mandolins. It has the overall red finish with the slight red sunburst as is correct for 1916, a pearl logo and peghead inlay, bound top and back, and a bound ebony fingerboard with treble extension. The hardware is all original including the inlaid Handel tuners. Nice big woody sound from this mandolin with good bass! Neck is straight, neck angle is good and the frets are in great shape. Just set up so plays like silk. Shows a little playing wear and the the usual nicks and dings of a well loved instrument used to make music, not just living in the case. Excellent for Celtic, old time and jazz. Comes with a nice original hard case.
