2014 David Harvey Signed Gibson Master Model F-5 Mandolin.  Varnish finish. Very attractive burst, highly flamed back.  Waverly tuners.  Like new, very fresh frets, clean example throughout except for one area on top.  Ok, here is the issue with the finish:  My dog pawed the top.  The finish has not been touched up to hide the wear.  I have had the mandolin looked at by Dusty Strings in Seattle and the assure me that there is no structural damage and the wear is not through to the wood.  They recommended doing nothing to fix it, but one could always attempt to have it touched up.  Varnish is delicate, so this one has a little patina on it, and a cool dog tag story!  Anyway, cosmetic wear aside, the mandolin is setup very well, plays like butter and sounds like a million bucks.  Small dog case cover included in the auction.  Please email me with any questions, thoughts, or concerns.  Pickguard removed and in like new condition. Goes back in easily with included mount.  You don't see these for sale very often, and Harvey signed examples are quite rare.  Don't let the blemish turn you off, this thing is killer.
