2016 Gibson F9 Mandolin
(Serial No. 61028011) Near mint condition - looks nearly unplayed. Dark sunburst lacquer with a satin finish. This is the "no frills" F5 style scroll mandolin for Gibson, but it still has all the design features that give the F5 its legendary tone, including a hand-fitted dovetail neck joint, nicely figured maple neck, sides and back, solid Sitka spruce top, tone bar bracing, and a hand-tuned tone chamber. Has the traditional flat unbound ebony fretboard and a 1 1/8 inch bone nut. Pearl logo in the peghead. Body is top bound only in white. No pickguard as made by Gibson. Very good sounding mandolin with good response all across the strings and up and down the neck. Signed by David Harvey October 28, 2016. Just set up by my luthier so the mandolin plays like butter and has the signature Gibson chop - excellent bluegrass sound! Here is a short video clip of this instrument played by luthier Richie Dotson of Acoustic Box LLC. Comes with the original shaped hardshell case.
