Description
Brown top finish with dark back and sides. Its a late 1921 so it has the truss rod in the neck. No logo in the peghead as built, unbound fingerboard, original Gibson label inside. All finish and hardware are original except possibly for the truss rod cover. Shows some playing wear as well as a few nicks and dings, but overall a nice solid mandolin. Repaired back edge seam behind the tailpiece is barely noticable. Plays easy with the great round hole tone
