Alvarez A-900 baroque. I still have mine I bought in 1976.
Back of the peghead looks like a Bruno I once had. Same tuners as well.
Those 2 small "cracks" don't seem to follow the grain of the top. I'd say finish checking. Does your arm sweat when you're playing?
Let's not forget Jimmy Gaudreau.
Got this from our buddy at vintagemandolin.com today. Initially when looking at the pictures after purchase my plan was to re-neck. Quick dry fitted it back together and everything goes back just...
There are several of the exact tuners on Feebay..
Correct me if i'm wrong but I don't think I've seen "The Gibson" script inlay in anything but white MOP. Way too many strange things going on here.

That one of Jakes is very,very similar..we'll go with Supertone!
Thanks! So many brands of this type..I've set it up properly now and she sounds very sweet.

I did X bracing in an old very sunken top gibson project mandola years ago. With lots of humidification and time I managed to regain the arch and thought X bracing would help keep it supported. It...

I saw that and was actually going to contact him about buying it but didn't. Figured he didn't know what he had. Keep us posted.
I think someone found this at the dump, where it should have stayed.
I've been using fender extra heavy teardrop shaped picks for 40 years and happy with them. Thinking about a BlueChip purchase for a test drive. Anyone know what thickness BlueChip might be close to...
I bought one off the music store wall in 1977 not knowing much at all about them, was just lusting for an F model.799.00 brand new and a monthly payment of 32.00. Beat on it for over 20 years on the...
