The Story

F-5G Mandolin Reissue Dark Burst Used

The F-5G is a Modern Collection version of Gibson’s iconic F-5 design. Tuned to the needs of modern mandolin players, its player-friendly specs include an unbound ebony fingerboard, a 14-degree fingerboard radius, no pickguard, and a short fingerboard extension. The neck and body are made from figured red maple and are coupled with a carved Sitka spruce top. The F-5G features refreshed specifications, contours, and construction for optimal acoustic response. Finished in Dark Burst gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, a hardshell case is included.

Includes: Hardshell Case
