{"product_id":"1922-gibson-mandolin-banjo","title":"1922 Gibson MB Mandolin-Banjo - w\/OHSC","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor your consideration, a 1922 Gibson MB Mandolin-Banjo with its original hardshell case. MB is short for Mandolin-Banjo, and this is a terrific example of a rare early variant from before Gibson had fully standardized the model’s specifications. The factory order number is 11509-7, placing it squarely in this fascinating early period of Gibson production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one has a great look, from the plain script Gibson headstock logo to the original open-back hardware and intact interior label. The label remains legible, vibrant, and unusually well preserved. There is no evidence that this one was ever fitted with the later trapdoor-style resonator hardware, and it appears to have been built in this open-back configuration from the start.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe instrument is original throughout. It is currently fitted with a replacement bridge, but the original bridge is included with the sale. The original friction tuners, armrest, and other hardware remain in place. It is a very complete survivor and an especially nice piece for a Gibson collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original green-lined hardshell case is included, along with the original capo, old string packs and wrappers, adjustment tools, and other period accessories that have stayed with it over the years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRare, complete, and packed with the small details that make an early instrument like this so enjoyable to study. Just a really nice piece of Gibson history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable for a test drive in our Jamestown, Kentucky showroom, and we ship worldwide.
