Description

Here’s a 2005 Gibson F-9 Master Model that didn’t spend its life hiding in a case—and somehow still came out looking sharp. Finished in a thin, hand-applied French polish that’s aged gracefully, it’s got the kind of sheen you only get from lots of careful work and maybe a little wizardry. The tone is dry, woody, and punchy—classic Loar-inspired bark with a clean midrange that doesn’t get in its own way. Varnish-era neck feel with a comfortable V profile, and the hardware’s all there and behaving itself. If you’ve been waiting for one that’s opened up but hasn’t been opened up, this might be your mandolin. Comes with a TKL brand hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
