information from a nice person on here:
the top wood is spruce and the body is brazilian rosewood
Vintage VEGA Regent Boston Mass. USA Bowl Back 8-String Mandolin Great Condition
It will need new strings if used for playing.
Has PEARL INLAY NECK
TORTOISE shell pick guard
Nice straight neck
Body is 8 in. Wide
About 5.5 in. Deep
24 inches total length
20 frets
Has 1 minor stressed age separation on back see pictures
Couple of minor looks to be white paint rub marks ?
Overall fantastic condition for the age
With new strings it will make a great mandolin.
