Gibson Custom F5-G Mandolin Dark Burst w/Case s#31005012
The Gibson F-5G Mandolin in Dark Burst is a modern interpretation of one of the most iconic mandolin designs ever created. Part of Gibson’s Modern Collection, it blends traditional craftsmanship with updated features tailored to today’s players.
Built with a carved Sitka spruce top and figured red maple back and sides, the F-5G delivers exceptional projection, clarity, and a rich, articulate tone. The F-style body enhances resonance and visual appeal, while the gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish highlights the natural beauty of the tonewoods.
Designed for playability, it features a wide neck profile, unbound ebony fingerboard, and a comfortable 14" radius. Thoughtful updates such as the shorter fingerboard extension and absence of a pickguard provide a cleaner aesthetic and improved playing experience.
With premium hardware including Grover tuners, an ebony bridge, and an engraved tailpiece, the F-5G is a professional-grade mandolin suited for stage, studio, and serious acoustic performance.
