From Our Research Team:A Highly Collectable F5 Fern MandolinThe Gibson Custom F5 Korina Fern Mandolin celebrates the company's rich legacy with a superb limited edition F5 in korina. This one-of-a-kind instrument is adorned with the iconic fern headstock inlay first seen on the original F5s in the 1920s. At the dawn of the Roaring '20s, is was Gibson master luthier Lloyd Loar who designed the F5, personally signing each one made. Today, a Loar-signed F5 in good condition will fetch upwards of $200,000. The F5 Korina Fern has a select spruce top, korina back and rim, and gold hardware - making it quite rare, indeed. If you're seeking exceptional value in a collectable mandolin, this Gibson F5 Korina Fern is the ticket.Gibson Custom F5 Korina Fern Mandolin at a Glance:
Sublime playability The Gibson Custom F5 Korina Fern Mandolin plays like butter - exactly what you'd expect from Gibson, the company that invented the F5 mandolin. Gibson's Custom Shop luthiers still craft instruments right here in the USA, using time-tested techniques and the finest materials. The results are breathtaking looks and sublime playability. Nitrocellulose lacquer finish Gibson Custom F5 Korina Fern Mandolin wears a gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish that gives the instrument a timeless, classic look. Nitro finishes - standard for most of the 20th Century - are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the mandolin to "breathe." Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y wonderful; they also enhance the instrument's tonal qualities - so your F5 Korina Fern sounds every bit as beautiful as it looks! A modern-day collectable If you're a mandolinist, you're probably well aware of the prices being paid for vintage F5s in good condition. If you've lusted after some of these (and perhaps even attended an auction or two), you know that these instruments are commanding a king's ransom - up to $200,000 in some cases. If the thought of taking out another mortgage doesn't appeal, here's an affordable to own a modern-day collectable: the Gibson Custom F5 Korina Fern Mandolin!
