Nice straight neck,  all tuners have straight shafts, solid celluloid buttons and everything works. Original tailpiece with \"The Gibson\" cover, pickguard has gone missing (probably succumbed to celluloid deterioration). Original coloring throughout, note wear to finish on neck and the nicks to the finish on the lower (treble) side.  The original shellac-varnish finish on top and back may have been French polished at some point. There are no cracks that we could find.   There are some small chips around the lower frets so we're assuming it was given at least a partial refret at some point. Pretty amazing condition when you realize it's over 100 years old, and includes a nice original hardshell case, too.\r\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46920786837703,"sku":"GIBA-50930","price":1350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4947\/3991\/files\/1422801.jpg?v=1788972086"},{"product_id":"northfield-a4-special-nfmsp-a4-black-top-gloss-wide-nut-mandolin-new-26385","title":"Northfield A4 Special NFMSP-A4 Black Top Gloss Wide Nut Mandolin - New","description":"Although the model code \"A-4\" reminds vintage mandolin fans of Gibson's highest A model, that's where the similarities to this Northfield A4 Special end. For starters, Northfield has moved up both the soundhole and the bridge, giving you 14 frets clear of the body. The end of the fingerboard is also cantilevered above the top, which results in a larger and far more active soundboard.\r\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003eWhat this means to the player is the A4 Special offers the same access to the upper frets that you enjoy with an F-model, and the tone and volume are expanded as well. Yet the oval soundhole and lateral top brace give you the warmer, sweeter tone you expect from a mandolin that doesn't rely on f soundholes and tone bars top bracing. The figured maple, multi-ply binding and shaded varnish finish are equivalent to the best Northfield F models. This example has the wider 1 3\/16\" nut width and a radiused fretboard. This A4 Special may change how you think about A model mandolins.","brand":"Northfield Mandolins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46976913014983,"sku":"NORNFMSPA4WNBTGL-ASM260215","price":3995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0503\/4947\/3991\/files\/1124791.jpg?v=1788953762"},{"product_id":"eastman-md305-mandolin-new-26425","title":"Eastman MD305 Mandolin - New","description":"Like all of Eastman’s A-style mandolins, the MD305 has a solid, hand carved spruce top with solid, hand carved maple back.
