  • Description: The serial number stamped into the back of the headstock dates this mandolin to 1939, and Gibson records show that it was shipped in November of that year. The top is a beautiful sunburst spruce. Back and sides are maple, with the back sporting some beautiful tiger-stripe flame. Neck is mahogany and the board is rosewood. All components appear original. Only two condition items to report: The top shows a dip under the bridge, and the pickguard has a repair where the screw attaches. Scale length is 14 1/8", and the lower bout measures 10 1/8" across. The fingerboard is 1 3/16 at the nut. This one owner example is cosmetically in excellent plus condition. The action is good, and when strummed, the mandolin produces a ringing and melodic tone.
