Gibson Custom Shop / F-5G DARK BURST [S/N 31109012]

“A practical model that meets the needs of players!”

Gibson's history begins with mandolin making, but in recent years David Harvey, who is also known for his work as a bluegrass musician, has joined the Gibson Custom Shop as a master luthier. He continues to make great mandolins.
Among the lineup, the F-5G is a modern collection version of Gibson's signature mandolin F-5. Tuned to suit the tastes of modern mandolin players, it has more player-oriented specifications such as an unbound ebony 14-degree radius fingerboard, no pickguard, and short fingerboard extensions. The neck and body are made of figured red maple, and the top is made of Sitka spruce. His new F-5G has been refined in all specifications, including the sound response, to completely update the previous model. It is finished with nitrocellulose lacquer in Dark Burst Gloss and comes with a hardshell case.
Although the decoration is simple, the luxurious figured maple on the sides, back and neck, and the torch inlay on the headstock make it a pleasure to own. Even though it is a player's preference, the design is not limited to practicality, which makes it a true Gibson.
