Kovacik Guitars presents this 100% original 1929 Martin A style mandolin, serial # 14532. The top and back are crack free, there are two 1" repaired cracks in the bass side. The body has superficial scratches and wear from decades of play and handling, all of which contribute to an appropriately 'aged' look while not looking at all abused. There is one slightly deeper straight-line scratch in the top that looks on first glance like a crack (visible in the 11th photo) but it is a scratch and not a crack. The neck is straight, frets good, all bracing secure. The original Waverly tuners are working well. The frets have just been leveled and dressed, the instrument needs nothing. Playability is very good (the action measures 4/64" at the 12th fret) and the mandolin has a very nice 'old time' kind of tone. Comes with a new Boulder "Alpine Series" nylon gig bag for a case.
