1938 Gibson A00 Mandolin


(Serial No. EG-6072) Original sunburst finish and hardware, Adirondack spruce top with F holes, dark stained nicely flamed maple back, sides and neck, white script silkscreened "Gibson" peghead logo, clamshell tailpiece cover. These were used a lot in bluegrass as not everyone could afford a F5. Nice playing and sounding instrument with no issues. Frets are fine, neck is straight. Minor repair to the pickguard at the mounting point. Good strong bluegrass sound with a woody chop. Very loud mandooin - excellent volume. Comes with an original somewhat beat up cardboard case.
