{"product_id":"1927-gibson-a-4-415","title":"1927 Gibson A-4","description":"A very nice mandolin, made just after the change back from snakehead topaddle headstock.  That means it has the powerful tone of the maple back andsides and the original adjustable bridge and truss rod of the Loar period,coupled to the great looks of the earlier 'Teens A-4s.  This one also hasthe slightly wider 1 3\/16\" bone nut, which many players prefer.  Theoriginal tuners have plenty of life.  There's a little honest playwear butno cracks or seam separations.  The first eight frets have been replacedmany years ago, and all of the frets have recently been leveled and crowned.Two brass rings for tying a strap have been left in place by a previousowner.  The instrument has a loud, balanced tone with some sweetness andsome good old-fashioned chop.  The original green-lined case is in goodcondition, too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sold\"\u003eSOLD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"GIBSON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53610286711150,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/a4.jpg?v=1790963613","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/1927-gibson-a-4-415","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
