(65.4 cm.), 10 1\/4 in. (26 cm.) width, and 1 13\/16 in. (4.6 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 14 in. (356 mm.). Width of nut is 1 1\/4 in. (32 mm.). This old Gibson exhibits light-moderate finish wear overall, but no major damage or repair. All original and complete except for a newer bone nut and the elevated celluloid pickguard is long gone. The original frets have been taken down a bit but the instrument still plays very well, with the slightly brighter, punchier tone typical of late-'teens A-Style models. A good player's example and excellent old time string-band or recording mandolin, complete with the original HSC. Excellent - Condition.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852996792460,"sku":"6746","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_1f8596ca-997d-4cd6-8d2b-99313fc17a17.jpg?v=1774330000","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/gibson-style-a-carved-top-mandolin-1919-6746","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
