Vintage 1950s~early '60s mandolin from the Sears-Roebuck catalogues of yesteryear featuring a spruce top, maple back and sides with a maple neck, bound Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, brass frets open gear tuners and clam shell tailpiece.
Bridge and pickguard have been replaced. Minor repair on back of body near tailpiece. Neck has been previously reset however it's due for another, some separation on back and sides and the neck has had a strap pin in it at some point (since filled in). Some lacquer repairs here and there. Action is a touch high.
