Gibson F-9 F-Style Mandolin

FOLK OF THE WOOD NO LONGER DEALS THE GIBSON LINE

5

The F-9’s no-frills design gives it a sleek look that is unique among traditional mandolins, with black binding on the top of the body, no fingerboard inlay (although the Gibson catalog and website shows this model with fingerboard dot inlays, the F-9 is not currently being made with dot inlays on the fingerboard...take note, there are dot indicators on the side of the neck as shown in pictures on this page) and a Vintage Brown finish - a hand-stained light chocolate color with an extremely thin satin lacquer outer coat. The F-9 has all the design features that give the F-5 its legendary tone, including a hand-fitted dovetail neck joint, solid maple neck, sides and back, solid spruce top, and a hand-tuned tone chamber.
