The Lafferty 1924 Varnish Fern Mandolin- Inspired by David Harvey

$5,999.00

The Lafferty 1924 Varnish Fern brings together traditional craftsmanship and the expertise of former Gibson Master Luthier David Harvey. Carefully handcrafted by Lafferty’s small team of skilled craftsmen in Qingdao, China, each instrument receives its final assembly, professional setup, inspection, and personal approval from David Harvey.

Inspired by the iconic F-style mandolins of the 1920s, the Varnish Fern combines vintage character, exceptional tone, and outstanding playability. Each mandolin features a David Harvey signature label, representing his personal involvement and commitment to quality.

Old-world inspiration. Modern craftsmanship. The David Harvey touch.

We have 4 available for our initial launch and all are highly figured backs as shown in photograph and all sound very consistently great!
