This 2016 Smith Creek F5 mandolin is a finely crafted, luthier-built instrument inspired by classic F-style designs. Featuring a carved spruce top, figured maple back and sides, and a hand-rubbed sunburst finish, it delivers a warm, focused tone with plenty of projection and chop. With clean craftsmanship and a comfortable neck profile, it’s a responsive and well-balanced mandolin suited for bluegrass and beyond. It includes a Superior hardshell case.
