 1920s Gibson A
Classic A model!
No modern manufacturer has figured out how to build aged tone, so here is your best bet to get the sound that everyone loves. This Gibson A from the 1920s has been played in extremely well, and is one of the best-sounding mandolins we've heard from that era.  With hard case.

Gibson F-4 		1920 Gibson F-4
As fine as they come.
This Florentine style, oval soundhole Gibson has a rich tone that sets it apart from all other vintage mandolins. Until 1924 the F-4 was the top of the Gibson line and every mandolin orchestra contained several of them. Well balanced, with overtones that enrich every note on the fretboard, the F-4 is a welcome instrument in classical, ragtime, old timey, jazz or bluegrass ensemble. With original hard case.
