That's far from my favorite example of a Gibson Mandolin, though my knowledge is certainly limited.

It's cool, but not something I'd have any use for.
Also, what are the holes on the very upper frets for?

I do like mandolin, there was an old guy that lived up the block and would just sit in a chair and jam all day long with a huge,huge smile on his face.
I would speak to him in Italian and he told me how his family saved and scraped for years to buy that mandolin.
This mandolin does nothing compared to the tobacco burst he played.

No thanks. I'd rather have a new Gilchrist or Nuggett.

It used to be Yngwies'. Early scalloping.

The tone is in the holes.

I love oval hole mandolins, but this would not be for me. I couldn't play it well enough to justify owning it and would be afraid to play it too much if my playing were that good.

You don't deserve koa.
Instruments are still made that way. And the best of them cost about the same as that, if not more.
