This is a beautiful sounding, fully carved, teardrop body with no body points. The carved back is two piece maple back with flamed maple sides; Art Deco peghead shape; all original with bakelite pickguard and lyre shaped tailpiece cover. This is a RARE classical model mandolin. The neck has the 13-7/8" "longer" scale joining at the 12th fret. It is a great sounding mandolin.
