I have had this mandolin 30 years and it is exactly as I bought it. The headstock has Gibson logo and design in mother-of-pearl. Has original Kluson tuners. Comes with hardshell case. The fingerboard is bound rosewood.I have adjusted my price to reflect the neck finish and old peghead repair.If you are interested in buying this mandolin, please contact me first with your zip/postal code so I can give you more precise shipping information.
