Description
A marvelous sounding mandolin with a rich, powerful voice. This beautiful Style 00 Bowlback was just recently acquired from a private collection of nearly 40 rare & vintage Martin guitars, including tenors as well as mandolins, ukes & banjos. Professionally inspected & set up by the experts here at Cream City Music.
Cosmetic Condition: Great shape considering its age with some typical play wear - various little nicks, chips, dents & dings; scratches & some mild finish wear. There's an ever so tiny chip in the treble-side of the nut, but it doesn't affect playability. There's a minor top crack near the pickguard. Overall the mandolin looks good & has a wonderful vibe to it.
Neck: Mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard & cream dot inlays. Frets are clean with no wear. Open-gear strip tuners with ivoroid buttons. 1 3/16" nut width; 13" scale length.
Body: Bent, solid spruce top with oval soundhole & multi-ring rosette. Nickel tailpiece with compensated ebony bridge & tortoise pickguard. Rosewood bowlback. Mandolin weighs 1 lb 5.6 oz.
Case: Chipboard case included.
