(63.5 cm.), 10 5\/8 in. (27 cm.) width, and 2 1\/4 in. (5.7 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 13 7\/8 in. (352 mm.). Width of nut is 1 1\/4 in. (32 mm.). Very nice overall; there is some topwear on either side of the fingerboard that has been touched up with clearcoat and a single sealed grain crack along the back spine of the body, neatly closed but visible. Some of the pearl insets in the pickguard have glue added around and over them-not the neatest repair but visible only on close inspection. Other than these flaws a very fine example of Vega's best quality work; excellent sound and playability and a very lovely mandolin. Overall Excellent Condition.","brand":"Vega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853450104972,"sku":"5267","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_13ef353b-76a2-4ef3-8fc0-d59b3c23348e.jpg?v=1774338860","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/vega-cylinder-back-style-305-arch-top-mandolin-1916-5267","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
