Lyon healy mandolin style c3/30/2024 It's now playing perfectly with hair-under 1/16" action at the 12th fret. Work included: a reglue to a sprung seam, a fret level/dress, compensation of the bridge, and a setup. My Washburn book is missing in action somewhere in the house so I'm not sure if that number helps to date it. It has "#1651" and "Style A" on the label in the soundhole. The owner of this guy is selling it "for sale by owner" in the soontime so it was just in to get buttoned-up. It's all-original and came into the shop in pretty good order, though I did have to do a little work. It's original and I don't think I've seen it on any other Style A that I can recall, so it must've been either asked-for or limited to a small run of them. This particular Style A is remarkable for two things, as well: it has the earlier asymmetrical two-point body (I prefer this look) as well as a dark, "brown violin" finish.
