Lovely Gold Tone octave mandolin with nice warm tone from the solid Spruce top and very easy to play. This instrument is in very good condition with only a very few small marks/dings from its 12 years and there is a small mark near the heel that might have been where a former strap button was placed (see pics). It only saw modest playing so the finish still has great shine to it and the frets have almost no wear and the action remains low and comfortable. Comes with its original Gold Tone hard case in very good condition.
