    Description

    This is estate fresh, a rare bird indeed.
    1947 Martin mandolin. Serial # 18706 model 2-15
    Maple sides and back
    Spruce top
    No cracking of the varnish. No chips, cracks or repairs to the instrument.
    Frets look good
    Original pick-guard
    One minor scratch on back, common, usually from suspenders or belt. I would know, I played mandolin in a bluegrass band for 6 years.
    2 tuner knobs/buttons are missing.
    There is a piece of wood missing on the bridge that makes the "E" strings sit lower than they need to be. See last picture. Bridge needs replaced.
    Fine Fine FINE survivor.
    While I wouldn't consider myself a "mandolin pro" by any means, if you need a sound bit I can probably figure out a way to send you a minute or two of it in play. It does play now, but needs a new bridge to be played all the way up the neck, or for any amount of time in a professional setting.
    BEING SHIPPED WITH NO STRINGS.
