Description

Excellent condition. The F-4 was the top of the line mandolin for Gibson in 1920. It has a true red sunburst, spectacular flamey woods on the back and sides, pearl double flowerpot logo, bound top and back, and a bound ebony fingerboard with treble extension. The hardware and finish are all original. Nice big woody sound from this mandolin with good bass! Neck is straight, neck angle is good and the frets show very little wear. Comes with the original 20's green-lined hardshell case.
