1999 Gibson F5-G Mandolin

1999 Gibson F5G in good condition. There are some light scratches, but nothing major and common for an instrument that has been played for the past 25 years. No cracks or structural issues. A couple scratches on the scroll as shown in the photos, also has a mark from bridge misplacement. These Charlie Derrington-era mandolins are highly regarded for good reason. This mandolin has THAT tone that leans heavily into a dry, woody tone. Strong and punchy, the tone is classic Gibson F5 with everything centered around the powerful midrange.
