{"product_id":"gibson-style-h-1-carved-top-mandola-1913-6888","title":"Gibson Style H-1 Carved Top Mandola (1913)","description":"Gibson Style H-1 Model Carved Top Mandola (1913), made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, serial # FON: 2412, natural varnish finish, birch back and sides, spruce top; mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard, black hard shell case. `\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOverall length is 28 1\/4 in. (71.8 cm.), 11 1\/16 in. (28.1 cm.) width, and 2 in. (5.1 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 15 3\/4 in. (400 mm.). Width of nut is 1 5\/16 in. (33 mm.). This Mandola has some moderately heavy wear but is an excellent player, with a great warm sound and a very comfortable action. The clear varnish finish has its share of dings and checking, and is mostly worn off the back of the neck. The back\/side seam has been resealed in the tailpiece area as is very common with these. The original hardware is intact including the oft-missing pickguard and clamp, tuners and carved ebony bridge. The tailpiece base is a modern repro and the cover is original but appears to have been replated at some point. The label is partially intact with some missing areas so the serial number is no longer legible, although its penciled ghost can be seen on the inside back. Set up ready for another 100 years service, this H-1 is a lovely survivor of the mandolin orchestra era and an instrument with a lot of potential still to be explored. Very Good + Condition.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852999970956,"sku":"6888","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_4c074e38-f643-427a-99fe-614af8241e62.jpg?v=1774330164","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/gibson-style-h-1-carved-top-mandola-1913-6888","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
