Description Exact Year: 1915 Brand: Gibson
This is a beautiful Gibson model A mandolin from 1915 with an attractive pumpkin top finish. It was played lightly by me and my wife (I was looking for an instrument more portable than guitar and piano but never really took to the mandolin). It plays beautifully, with a straight neck and a low action. The sound is fantastic and gives a great singing sustain. A few of my friends who are accomplished players were quite taken with the action and sound quality. There are no structural issues of any kind, including no delamination issues on the back. Serial number 23683.I am available for pickup in the Morgantown, WV region and would be available to deliver or meet, with a flexible date, to the DC, Pittsburgh, or Ohio metropolitan areas.
