Excellent condition. Only moderate evidence of prior use. The previous owner liked this instrument very well and played it frequently, but didn't handle it carelessly or put much wear on it.

     Fully bound with multiple ivoroid bindings. Nice floral inlay in peghead. Dots inlaid in Ebony radiused fingerboard. Sunburst finish. Beautifully figured Maple back, Adirondack Red Spruce top.

     This mandolin sounds great - it is wide open and strong, yet also responds well when played lightly. It is in great shape and is ready to go.
