1920 Gibson A4 Mandolin

1920 Gibson A4 Mandolin
(Serial No. 57885) Excellent condition. The A4 was the top of the line A style mandolin for Gibson in 1920. It has the true red sunburst top finish and reddish back and sides, pearl peghead inlay and logo, bound top and back, and a bound ebony fingerboard with treble extension. The hardware and finish are original. Nice big woody sound from this mandolin with good bass! Neck is straight, neck angle is good and the frets show very little wear. No repairs or refinish noted. Action is low and playable and it has a good ringing sound. For a short video clip of this mandolin played by Nathan Beaumont click here. Excellent for Celtic or old-time music. Just set up by my local luthier Marty Beeson. Clean original hardshell case included. Click for pricing and to return to the main page
