A rare opportunity to own a 2005 Gibson Distressed Master Model mandolin signed by Danny Roberts. If you want that vintage Loar look, tone, and feel, the DMM delivers at a fraction of the price. When these were first released they fooled more than one Loar owner. This one will hold its own with any F5 mandolin out there. Paired with a Paganoni vintage-style case, this is the real deal!


Flamed maple back and sides

Red Spruce top

Hide glue construction

Distressed varnish finish

1 1/16” nut with flat fingerboard

Scalloped extension with faux frets
