{"product_id":"1919-gibson-a2-427","title":"1919 Gibson A2","description":"A particularly fine sounding example of Gibson's brown-topped A-2.  This oneis completely original, crack-free, and very playable.  Its 3 piecered-spruce top is in great shape with no sinkage below the bridge.  Thetop's center section is fairly wide-grained, with tightly grained andquarter-sawn bookmatched bass and treble sections; possibly part of thereason that this one sounds so good.  This A-2 also has the rare aluminumbridge top that does a good job of adding a little extra punch and sparkle.We think that the bridge is original to the instrument, although the serialnumber dates this mandolin a year or two earlier than the aluminum-topbridges; it is entirely possible that this instrument was completed in '21,but numbered in '19.  It has a woody voice, fairly open, with a veryresponsive back; subtle overtones, and good strength.  The pickguard supportclamp is missing, and with only a few small dings and some fretwear fromeighty-some years of tunes, there's not much else that can be held againstthis beauty.\u003cbr\u003eWith original hard shell case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sold\"\u003eSOLD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"GIBSON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53610294739310,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/a2.jpg?v=1790963625","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/1919-gibson-a2-427","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
