A new Master Model mandolin collaboration from Gibson Custom and Sierra HullSierra Hull is a mandolin virtuoso, singer, guitarist, and songwriter known for her exceptional technical proficiency and unique musical style, which blends elements of bluegrass, Americana, folk, jazz, and modern progressive acoustic music. She started playing mandolin at age eight and performed at the Grand Ole Opry by age ten. Her performances quickly attracted the attention of other highly skilled bluegrass musicians, and she has collaborated with and received accolades from other notable artists, including Gillian Welch, Béla Fleck, Dolly Parton, Brandi Carlile, and Alison Krauss. Her debut album, Secrets, was released in 2008, and she has followed it up with other critically acclaimed albums, including 2011’s Daybreak, 2016’s Weighted Mind, and 2020's 25 Trips, which cemented her place as one of the most innovative musicians in contemporary bluegrass and acoustic music. Her recently released fifth studio album, A Tip Toe High Wire, marks her first album in five years. Sierra embraced creative freedom and not only self-produced but also released the album independently–the first of her albums to be so released. A two-time Grammy® Award nominee, she is the only woman to have been nominated for, let alone win, seven IBMA Mandolin Player of the Year awards. She is also the first woman to have a signature series Gibson mandolin.
Sierra Hull continues to delight and inspire audiences worldwide with her innovative artistry. Now, Gibson Custom is proud to introduce the Sierra Hull F-5 Master Model mandolin, which is built to the exact specifications of her original F-5 Master Model mandolin. F-5 Master Model mandolins are the gold standard in the world of mandolins in terms of tone, playability, and beauty, and the Sierra Hull Master Model mandolin continues that long and illustrious tradition. It features an F-style body with a multi-ply bound eastern curly maple back and multi-ply bound carved red spruce top, a Sierra Burst VOS varnish finish, an eastern slab curly maple neck with Sierra’s custom narrow neck profile and an ebony fretboard with mother-of-pearl dot inlays, and a custom engraved truss rod cover with a reproduction of her signature and a tailpiece cover that also bears her initials. It is equipped with silver-plated hardware, including Waverly silver machine heads, and comes with a certificate of authenticity, a Sierra Hull BlueChip pick, a pack of stickers, and a custom paisley leather strap, and it is all packaged in a vintage replica case.
