1919-1922 Gibson Model A Mandolin – Fully Restored Stage-Ready Player's Grade Package

Early 20th-century Gibson Model A mandolin that has been meticulously restored and upgraded into a flawless, dependable instrument tailored for the modern performing musician. While a full restoration changes its status for pure collectors, it has given this iconic vintage instrument a brand-new lease on life with exceptional playability and modern functionality.

• Full Body & Neck Refinish: Clean, professional work that looks stunning under stage lights and protects the vintage tonewoods for decades to come.

• Upgraded Tuning Keys: New, smooth-turning hardware ensures rock-solid tuning stability, completely bypassing the stiff, seized gear issues common to untouched vintage mandolins.

• New Finger Rest: A freshly installed, perfectly fit pickguard/finger rest that honors the original aesthetic.

• K&K Sound Passive Pickup System: Professionally installed internal twin-transducer pickup. It perfectly captures the authentic acoustic resonance of the carved top without requiring invasive side-mount preamps or battery packs—just plug in and play.

• Intact Interior Label: The original Gibson factory label remains intact inside the soundhole (serial number is no longer legible due to age/restoration).

• Highly collectible original Gibson "shaped" hard shell case.
