This 2001 Gibson F-5 Master Model fully lives up to the high standards associated with the Gibson name. Meticulously crafted, it delivers the bright, articulate “pop” players expect from a top-tier F-5, thanks in part to its ultra-thin, hand-brushed violin varnish. This delicate finish allows the premium tonewoods to resonate freely and retain their natural acoustic character. The mandolin features many of the hallmark details inspired by high-end Loar-era instruments, including the iconic scroll body and classic flowerpot headstock inlay. Cosmetically, it’s in excellent condition with only minor player wear. It includes the original hard shell case.
