2015 Gibson F5 Fern Gibson Mandolin

2015 Gibson F5 master model fern in mint condition.

A wonderful F5 from the most iconic producer of mandolins in history. This "fern " model offers Sitka Spruce top, full body binding with triple top binding, a flat ebony fretboard, and sunburst colour scheme. The tone is what we consider to be the classic Gibson F5 sound with a powerful, dry, and punchy character. Nice balance across the string courses as well as up and down the neck. This is a mandolin that will "cut a mix" and stand out in an ensemble of instruments. Responds beautifully to either a light touch or a more aggressive attack. A great Gibson F5 Fern!
