1970s Gibson A-5 Mandolin [*Kalamazoo Collection]
This instrument came from our recently acquired "Kalamazoo Collection." We acquired the collection from a married couple that worked at the original factory from the late 50s until the factory closed in June of 1984. These pieces are uncirculated and mostly untouched in mint or near-mint condition ~ The collection also includes 1000s of pieces of memorabilia, new-old-stock parts, and more ~ reach out with any/all inquiries!
A lovely 70s Kalamazoo Made A-5 Mandolin! It plays great with low action and sounds wonderful with a charming, dry sound with plenty of projection. It is completely unused so it is essentially in new-old-stock condition with some separation of the binding and it has a couple of heavier finish blemishes and finish cracks, but nothing that affects the structural integrity overall. Please reach out with any questions! Includes original hardshell case.
