Gibson A-4 1 Buy Gibson A-4 1 1916 Gibson A-4 Mandolin 'In Stock'

     Exc(-) condition. Mostly nice and original, but with some caveats. Original tuners with Handel inlaid ivoroid buttons. Original tailpiece, pickguard, and bridge.
     Original finish throughout, but with addition of french polish over coat layer. This layer is mostly seen on peghead, but also on back of neck, and to a very slight degree on body. Again - mostly all original finish, but some shellac added by french polish method.
     Neck heel shows signs of old break, with dark color added to disquise the repair. The break may be nearly impossible to see in photos, but it closely follows the very top edge of the darken area.
     The frets are correct frets for the era, but could be original frets freshly milled, or excellent professional replacement.
     This instrument is set-up very nicely and sounds exceptionally good.

Gibson F-5 Sam Bush 1 Buy Gibson F-5 Sam Bush 1 2001 Gibson F-5 Sam Bush Mandolin 'In Stock'

     Exc(+) condition. Hardly any signs of previous ownership. Only very slight wear on the frets. Beautiful woods and sunburst finish! True to Sam Bush's original 1930's F-5, these models have some unique features:
     Traditional fingerboard extension has been sawn off for ease of playing in the "sweet spot"; Spacing of strings at nut and at bridge are different - the pairs are slightly widened, to make all the strings appear almost evenly spaced acoss the nut and the bridge; Nut width is 1 3/16"; Back of neck has had finish removed to make it less sticky when playing; Gibson logo is oriented flat across the top of peghead; Ebony fingerboard has pearl block inlays.
     We have had several of these mandolins since Gibson began to make them around 2001. Here is a chance to get one for a great bargain, as a new one now sells for $8995!
     And yes, it is all set up and ready to go, and it sounds great.
