(66.4 cm.), 10 in. (25.4 cm.) width, and 1 3\/4 in. (4.4 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 14 in. (356 mm.). Width of nut is 1 3\/16 in. (30 mm.). A beautiful sounding mandolin; this F-2 has had some wear and repair work overall, currently missing the pickguard but otherwise original and complete. There is a repaired top crack on the bass side of the top about 1\/2\" from the fingerboard and some attendant polish-out, including a bit of lost finish on the crest of the scroll. There is an area pickwear on the treble side of the soundhole; the top has had an old French polish overcoat that is a bit shiny-very thin but noticeable. All other finish is the original varnish, with the only major loss on the back of the neck, where a decent amount is rubbed away. Overall this is well played but very sweet and enjoyable mandolin with a most comfortable action. Includes a nice OHSC. Generally Excellent - Condition.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852985684108,"sku":"4634","price":4600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_45ff1713-0d65-497c-95b2-ef3d21a2abc2.jpg?v=1774329450","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/gibson-f-2-carved-top-mandolin-1916-4634","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
