1996 Price F5 Artist Deluxe Mandolin
(Serial No. 9610-02) Near mint condition, sunburst finish. Gary Price is a well-known bluegrass banjo player, but he is also an accomplished luthier. This is the top of the line Price F5 style mandolin, and was Garys personal instrument. This is his version of the classic F5. The scroll is his original design, as is the pickguard. It features a sunburst finish in lacquer, beautiful highly flamed maple back and sides, a carved Sitka spruce top, a gold plated custom engraved tailpiece, gold Schaller tuners with pearl buttons, an ebony bridge and fretboard with pearl inlays, and a pearl truss rod cover. The mandolin is fully bound on the top, back, fretboard, and peghead. The peghead features a pearl logo and fern style peghead inlay. The fretboard is shortened to eliminate pick click. All finish and hardware is original. There are no repairs noted. Comes with a blue Price hardshell case.
