The Gibson F-5G takes the iconic F-5 design and modernizes it for today’s mandolin players. Crafted from beautifully figured red maple back and sides, paired with a carved Sitka spruce top, this mandolin delivers rich, resonant tone with outstanding acoustic clarity.
Player-focused features include an unbound ebony fingerboard with a smooth 14″ radius and a short fingerboard extension for effortless playing. The nut is crafted from mother of pearl and measures 1 3/16” for comfortable string spacing. Classic mother-of-pearl dot inlays add elegant detail, while the Double Gold finish gives it a striking, stage-ready look inspired by Gibson’s legendary Les Paul.
