Rick's Fine '52 Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 1957/8 Fender Mandolin (Mandocaster) Rarest and most sought after finish, impossibly rare in the UK, maybe the only one? 100% original Lightly worn, original 3-Tone Sunburst Finish, some weather checking, beautiful condition, see pics Maple neck, with original frets. Original spaghetti decal, original tuners, and very rare original Bakelite tuning pegs intact. Original gold anodized guard, with some wear as seen, below strings as normal on gold guards Rare to have original chrome bridge cover still in place Original tweed case. 100% original Mandocaster in the rarest, and most sought after finish combination. It's the best example I've seen, which is why I bought it in the first place. It comes with it's original tweed case, the handle of which may be a replacement? Any trial welcome, obviously, and you won't be disappointed. It's a stunning instrument, highly sought after, and one of the best examples you'll find. Maybe the only one in the UK, when was the last time one of these was available? More pics available to those genuinly interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
