An early era mandolin, this F-5 Fern was the peak of Gibson craftsmanship in the 1920s. Beloved by bluegrass pickers far and wide, this instrument lives up to the hype, with excellent playability and incredible tone. It has remarkably remained in nearly original condition over the years, with a refret, light overspray on the neck and honest player wear and checking on its beautiful finish. Underneath is stunning quilted maple back and sides. Enjoy the iconic Gibson bluegrass tone this F-5 Fern has to offer.

Includes vintage black hard shell case with replaced handle.
