This is the holy grail of mandolins. Made in July 9, 1923 (the same month/year as Bill Monroe's F-5), by famed luthier Lloyd Loar. It is in excellent condition with no cracks or repairs, still sporting the original Virzi tone generator and very rare one piece flame maple back (one of only 3 known to exist). Very good playability and very little play wear. This is a piece of history and one of the finest mandolins ever produced. With original hard shell case.
