Description Body Style: A Style Exact Year: 1914 Brand: GIBSON
Vintage Gibson A4 original Black Finish Mandolin. Currently not set up. So selling as is for someone to get this to a luthier and restore this beauty!!!The bridge is missing 3 saddles. I don't believe that this is the original bridge. All else appears to be original. Missing Pickguard. Also missing Gibson sticker inside, however has Serial Number 20732 written on the inside which would date it to 1914.The neck has a slight bow in it right now. Once there is more string tension I'm not sure if it would straighten out some or not.Fretboard has a minor nick in it at 14th fret.Metal emblem shows considerable rusts
Binding is in excellent condition.
The body and original finish are in good condition with moderate wear. No cracks or repairs that I can see. The tuners are in very good condition with one small nick to one of the tuning keys. Please let me know if you have any other questions and I will do my best to answer.
