1924 Gibson A Snakehead
The instrument is in remarkable condition and is virtually repair-free. There's a tiny crack at the bottom edge of the back that we've reglued, but nothing else to report. The bass-side tuner set didn't match the treble, and although it looks like we can thank Gibson c. 1924 for that, we've found a correct match in our stash of parts. The photos were taken prior and show the original, which will be included.
Very open sounding, warm and expressive, and more volume and cut than earlier birch A models.
1-1/8” nut, flat fingerboard with original frets, very little fretwear or playwear.
A wonderful mandolin.
With original hardshell case
