Custom Gibson Custom Shop F-5 120th Anniversary Master Lacquer Amber/Pigeon Blood Burst Mandolin #41912231

Gibson has built its reputation on great tone and performance.

To maximize resonance and tone, the mandolin's top is made from book-matched red spruce and its body handcrafted from highly figured maple - a perfect balance of full bodied warmth and clarifying attack, both projected brilliantly through the F5's tuned body chamber.  

As you would expect, all of Gibson's traditional tried and proven construction methods are present including a vintage rounded V neck profile, compound dovetail neck fit, and 2 foot compensated height adjustable ebony bridge.

Gibson have  commemorated the set with some very special additional details. The mandolin comes in a black, hard shell case lined in olive and embroidered in a 120th Anniversary of Gibson motif.  The mandolin also features an authentic, vintage 1894 nickel coin inlaid into the back of the headstock.
