I bought this mandolin in 1980, soon after it was made and have played, gigged and recorded with it. I had a pick up fitted and it works.
It has a beautiful sound and is easy to play.
There are very few of these around and I don't think I've ever seen one come up for sale.
I will consider sensible offers or P/X for a very nice acoustic guitar ( Bourgeois, Collings, Santa Cruz, Martin )
It has a nice hard Keith Calton case
