Description
A note-perfect rendition of a legendary mandolin, it is meticulously handcrafted by Gibson luthiers to replicate the 1925 original notable for its abalone fern headstock inlay,the F-5 'The Fern' Mandolin has a tuned parallel tone bar with a carved spruce top and maple back and sides to generate that world-famous tone. A sumptuous finish, hand-engraved gold-plated hardware, and triple binding all speak to its vintage pedigree. Includes Gibson hardshell case.
