Re: Inherited a Gibson Mandolin - Circa 1920
I'm not a great lover of the 'paddle head' style Mandolins,but that one i'd welcome with open arms,it looks to be in excellent condition apart from the headstock issue. I think that a good luthier would be able to repair that without a great deal of trouble if it's just the seam along the center strip. If as you say,it's totally playable,then i'd get it done & enjoy bringing a lovely instrument back to normal,
