Stradolin Arch Top Mandolin, c. 1950, made in New York City, natural lacquer finish, birch back and sides, spruce top; poplar neck with rosewood fingerboard, black chipboard case.
Overall length is 25 1/2 in. (64.8 cm.), 10 in. (25.4 cm.) width, and 2 in. (5.1 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 13 3/4 in. (349 mm.). Width of nut is 1 3/16 in. (30 mm.). All original with some average wear and checking to the finish overall. The only really notable defect is the lacquer on the back of the neck has flaked somewhat-the instrument plays fine but this can be felt while playing. This is not one of the higher-end Strad-O-Lins but is still a quality instrument, and a very good playing and sounding mandolin. Overall Very Good + Condition.
