The Story

1964 A-50 Mandolin Sunburst

This fun instrument is a vintage 1964 A-50 mandolin with a sunburst finish, built by Gibson. The A-style mandolin has a spruce top with maple back and sides, a 14" scale length, and white button tuners. Four of the eight buttons on the tuners were too shrunken to function, and replaced with newer ones. Half remain original and functional as well, there's also a non-original hard case included with this great mandolin.

Includes: Non-Original Hardshell Case
