JHS’ Vintage brand has added a new commemorative Gordon Giltrap D-Day Mandolin to its range.
It is based on a 1940’s mandolin originally owned by a US Serviceman who fought at and survived the Omaha beach landings. The Gordon Giltrap Vintage D-Day Mandolin (£249) features a white ash body, with Nyatoh neck and Indonesian Rosewood fingerboard, including aged hardware like the original, and displaying replicas of some of the original hard-carved inscriptions made by the owner and his fellow soldiers.
