1923 Gibson A-2 Mandolin Snakehead with Truss Rod Black
Here's a 1923 Gibson A-2 style Mandolin in Black finish. All original example from the Lloyd Loar era! Rare snakehead headstock, with a truss rod. There's one small back crack that's been professionally repaired, while the rest is perfect. The mandolin comes to us from an incredible private collection! No breaks, cracks, repairs. Playability is exceptional, with easy playing low action. Neck is straight. Frets are in good condition as well. No sinking on the top. Beautiful bright, sparkling clear tone, with nice bass response! Sounds amazing. OHSC!
