Excellent condition. This is a nice example of the white-face A-3. Replaced copy tailpiece, otherwise all original. Original ivoroid pickguard and clamp, original bridge, original tuners with original ivoroid buttons, and original hard case.

     The finish is in great original condition, with only some slight player wear where arm comes across for playing. Two back cracks have been professionally repaired and are certainly not obvious or ugly. Back of neck is in great shape - none of the usual wear you normally see.

     The playability and tone are very good, with the mandolin having a well-balanced sound, good attack, and strong voice. Frets are in fine playing condition. It is all set-up to play and needs nothing. The person choosing this mandolin will get a fine playing instrument that sounds great, as well as a strong investment instrument.
