Gibson made fewer than 10 of these gorgeous mandolins! These are essentially Gibson F-5s that are black with some F-10 appointments like the inlaid rosewood board, headstock, etc. Plays and sounds stellar with tons of classic Gibson mid-range and a lovely sweetness. It is in excellent condition with just some light wear here and there. At one point, the original owner put gold tuners and tailpiece on it. We have reverted back to the original hardware, but the screws remain gold. Additionally, there is a light line where the old tuners were a tad bit larger than the original tuners currently installed. Comes with original case and COA signed by David Harvey. Don't miss this rare bird! Ships promptly and fully insured.
