The Gibson Master Model F-5 is the definitive F Style Mandolin used by countless greats from Bluegrass to Rock and Roll. This beautiful and fine sounding 1973 Gibson F-5 Master Model Mandolin is gorgeous in a Tobacco Sunburst with a flamed maple back. Binding is beautifully contrasted to mandolin in a deep vintage hue. Mandolin is in wonderful condition for its vintage, and has been well protected in its hard shell case. Instrument sounds great, plays well and is set up with low action. Features beautiful inlay work on fret board, and headstock and wonderful craftsmanship. Frets have plenty of life. There are some small cracks that are stable and no longer than 1 inch. Comes with original pick-guard and hardware which are deteriorating, and original hard shell case in EXC condition. This one needs very little love to be a solid player and a great investment!
