Specs:

All Gibson mandolins are hand made in the USA. Most of the traditional procedures used for the original 1920's Loar mandolins are still being used today. It has been said that the craftsmen could trade places in time, and it would take less than a day for them to feel comfortably at work in the factory. Even many of the original tools are still in use. Many of the ideas are derived from the techniques used to build the Stradivarius violins.
