Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.  In Fair/Poor condition with considerable wear, including scratches, nicks, lost back binding, some loose/split braces, seam separation, overspray, and natural aging of parts and finish.  This instrument needs restoration but could be a great project for a budding luthier.  Rex-branded mandolins were manufactured in the United States, usually by Gretsch or Lyon & Healy during the Golden Age of mandolins, late 1800s to early 1920s.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings.  Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so.  We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument.  Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing. 

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear.  If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have.  Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
