❌SOLD❌ Gibson F5 Master Model Mandolin Vintage Varnish, 2003

On January 28, 2020 /

Here’s a very rare treat – a Gibson F5 Master Model mandolin, built at the Nashville custom shop, signed by Charles Derrington and dated September 26, 2003. Orville Gibson revolutionized the instrument building worlds at the end of the 19th century, brining Violin concepts and construction methods to both mandolins and guitars. This was the beginning of all the arched-top guitars and mandolins that are now common to us. In 1919, Lloyd Loar joined Gibson, and before he left in 1924 produced significant designs including the F5 mandolin. The instruments Loar worked on are among the most sought after.

❌SOLD❌ Gibson F-5 Mandolin Sunburst – 1978

On February 10, 2017 /

The Gibson F-5 mandolin is an American classic, a style invented by Orville Gibson just before 1900 merging European mandolins and violin principles.
This Gibson F-5 has a quilted maple back, wears a sunburst finish and was built during late 1978 at Nashville, Tennessee. It is in good playing condition, and has been refretted. The refret means that it not only can be played for years to come, but also that it has been played and its tone has really opened up.
