1918 Gibson A Mandolin

(Serial Number xxx07 Fon 111467) The serial number is partially illegible, but the facotory order number stamped inside indicates a build date of 1918, which agrees with the finish and appointments. Very good condition showing some playing wear. Sheraton brown top finish with dark back and sides. No logo in the peghead as built, top bound only, unbound fingerboard, original Gibson label inside. The finish and tuners are original but it has a replaced bridge and tailpiece cover, and is missing the pickguard. Shows some playing wear but overall a nice solid mandolin. Plays easy with the great round hole tone. Excellent for Celtic, old time and jazz. Just set up so it plays fine and has a good sound. Comes with a newer case.
