I'm looking at 2 Mandolins in my price range.
Gibson, A-00, Mandolin, c.1934-35
and
Gibson, A-50, Mandolin, 1963
A reputable local shop, that repairs, and sets up, instruments is selling them. I have not played since the 70's and I was playing a pretty inexpensive, 2nd or 3rd hand, instrument (I don't remember the brand). The shop also stocks some new Eastman's and a Kentucky within my budget ($1000.00) or less.
What trouble spots would you look for in the Gibson's?
