Gibson H-1 Mandola (1917)

This Gibson H-1 Mandola needs some love to return to it's former glory. With a pumpkin finish on bound spruce top, the birch back and sides show shrinking and prior repair work. The bound ebony fingerboard has pearl dot inlays. Bound oval soundhole with a double-ring rope pattern rosette. Other features include a mottled tortoise plastic pickguard and 4-on-a-plate tuners with ivoroid buttons. A good candidate for a restoration project. Original hardshell case. Made in Kalamazoo, USA.
