Classic bluegrass voice in this nicely appointed F-5 from Louisville, CO luthier Jim Hilburn. Dry, cutting voice with very good chop.

What To Know

A great, old-school bluegrass mandolin, this Hilburn F-5 offers great value in a handmade Fern. It responds well to a heavier attack, offering a very nice chop and good midrange cut, a perfect choice for the weekly jam. This mandolin comes to us in very good overall condition, with just normal signs of wear.

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!
