    Ouch!!! Especially the case. I've never seen that tailpiece on any Gibson mandolin, definitely not original. No thanks...

    Half of that price would be too much in the condition that is in. I would be really leery of the back repairs. They look so bad it would not be easy to redo.

    Definitely not in good condition, and definitley not all original parts.

    The non original tailpiece wouldnt bother me much. but that back just does not look good. And i dont think the top looks good either, hard to tell

    NFI but there is a 25 F-2 for a great deal in the classifieds I'd rather have that one if I was in the F-2 buying mood! Its clean!

    Oooooh, that thing is a mess. Looks like a lot of original finish has been stripped too.

    Looks like it was refinished. color of photos may be off but there looks like a lot of varnish.
