Description Brand: Gibson Number of Strings: 8 Body Style: A Style Exact Year: 1988 Body Material: Maple Model: AN-Custom Top Material: Spruce Country/Region of Manufacture: United States
Plays and sounds great. Signed by Steve Carlson himself after Gibson bought Flatiron. Has two small finish checks by sound hole-i had it checked out - they are not cracks. There is some fret wear but does not effect sound. There is a ding on lower side of neck on the binding, can't feel it while playing. There is a mark on the 7th fret that does not effect anything. There is some fingernail wear on the top from planting right hand. Has a truss rod, most of the flatirons don't. Some might consider the action high, It does not bother me. It could be easily lowered by a professional if desired. Neck is thinner than most. I'm not good with sound descriptions but to me sounds so much better than much more expensive Gibson's that I've played. Needs new strings. I will take the tension off the strings for shipping. Comes with original case and key. Signature will be required for shipping. No international shipping. Any questions please ask. Thank you.I've added a video, search youtube for- Gibson Army Navy Mandolin For Sale On eBay
