Gibson A-00 Mandolin, 1935 [USED]

Here is a vintage Gibson A-00 mandolin from 1935, featuring a nitro sunburst finish and classic A-style hollow body construction. Built in the USA during the Depression era, this model was Gibson’s entry-level carved-top mandolin, offering quality craftsmanship at an accessible price.

It shows signs of age including finish wear, a previously repaired top crack, and a new nut. The mandolin plays well up to the neck-body joint, delivering a warm, woody tone that suits folk, blues, and traditional styles.

A character-filled instrument with vintage appeal, this A-00 is a great example of Gibson’s pre-war sound and design.

Please Note: While this mandolin currently plays well it would benefit from an expert setup and some bridgework.
