I play upright bass and tinker with the mando (I have limited knowledge). My wife plays mandolin and I'm thinking of buying this for her as a gift. I'm looking for some guidance on this Gibson A4 http://www.hellomusic.com/ec/DealMai...36&cat=VINTAGE
1) Do you see any issues/problems with this instrument?
2) What are the pro's/con's of this model?
3) What (if anything) would I need to do to bring it up to good playing level?
4) The wife is currently playing an almost mint 1964 Gibson A40. Is there a big quality/sound difference between the two models? -Would this instrument be a step up from what she's now playing?
5) What wolud be a reasonable price if I decide to make an offer?
