Brian McLeod Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hi, I have a 1939 Mandolin with FON # EG-6964. I'm having trouble figuring out the model. A50 or A00? How can I tell the difference? Can you help? Pics are attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimt Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 I believe a A00 did not have a Bound back. A 50s did. Now you have a side view picture of the fingerboard to body? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rosett Posted February 16, 2021 Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Late to this topic, but... That's an 1939 A-1. A-50's from that period had pearl inlay and a bound fingerboard. The A-00 had a back brace visible through the sound holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
