Overview of Gibson Custom Shop 1923 F-5 Mandolin Master Model Reissue
Nothing sets the pulses of bluegrass players racing quite like a 1923 Gibson F-5 Master Model mandolin. Every bit as iconic and sought-after as the 1959 Les Paul Standard and usually priced accordingly, Lloyd Loar-signed F-5 models are the Stradivarii of the mandolin world - especially the 50 or so instruments dated July 9th, 1923.
Enter the new 1923 F-5 Master Model Reissue, an exacting clone of the priceless originals which only Gibson Custom Shop could create. Every contour and spec are incorporated thanks to scientific analysis, 3D scanning, and detailed notes from Lloyd Loar himself, found in the Gibson archives. The talented luthiers of Gibson Custom Shop meticulously construct and refine each until it is a perfect representation, not only in looks but in sound and feel.
Features of the 1923 F-5 Master Model Reissue include a hand-selected red spruce top and highly-figured maple back, an authentic varnished Cremona Brown finish, silver-plated hardware, a replica hardshell case, and an assortment of vintage-inspired case candy.
• Red Spruce top

• Ebony fingerboard
• Mother of Pearl dot inlays
