Here is a vintage 1948 Martin A-style mandolin, spruce top over mahogany back, sides, and neck; with Martin 18 guitar-style appointments. It has an ebony fretboard with micro dots, an ebony compensated bridge, and tortoise binding along both the top and back edges. It has its original Waverly “cloud” tailpiece.

This instrument is in very good condition with light cosmetic wear consistent with age. The tuner buttons have been replaced, and it comes with a non-original hardshell case. It plays great and has the classic warm, rich Martin tone you would expect from this era.
