Why We Love This
Crazy clean Gibson F-4 in the classic, red sunburst finish! Whether playing any manner or mix of folk, songwriter accompaniment, Celtic, classical, or old time, this Gibson will serve you quite well. Frankly, it would be hard to imagine a nicer looking or sounding example. Outfitted with a modern, two-piece bridge and recently setup, this mandolin is playing quite well, ready for its next century of music making!Please note: Used instruments are, well, used. We pride ourselves on thoroughly vetting, and carefully photographing, each pre-owned instrument we sell, but many of them carry subtle signs of handling that can escape even the most discerning eye. If you have questions about the condition of this instrument, we invite you to call us for an in-hand description. We're here to help!
