A collector’s item in its own right, complete with its original alligator-print case, this mid-century Gibson A-40 mandolin is a one-of-a-kind, must-have item for Americana fans. The beautifully preserved instrument is signed by a who’s-who of bluegrass luminaries who have performed on The Sheldon stage, including Marty Stuart, Sam Bush, Sierra Hull and Ricky Skaggs, and will be signed by Gala host Chris Thile the night of the event!
