This Gibson F-5L Fern mandolin has the ‘L’ designation, for Lloyd Loar; the F-5L model was introduced in 1978 as a return to the specifications Lloyd Loar used on his original F-5 Master Model instruments between 1922 and 1924.

This 1983 Marc Beneteau Classical Cutaway demonstrates Marc’s skill and the quality of his workmanship. The tone is rich and full, with warm highs and deep lows.

This excellent instrument, now available only on special order, features a Master Grade cedar top and solid Brazilian rosewood back and sides. This instrument has had a very limited production and represents the finest quality tonewoods and craftsmanship offered by this traditional Spanish company; its production has been officially superseded by the Luthier Exotico, which uses Red Peroba for the sides and back in place of Brazilian Rosewood.
