Gibson F 5s from 1922 24 were designed, built, hand tuned and signed by acoustic engineer Lloyd Loar and are considered to be the finest mandolins ever made. The new Distressed F 5 Master Model has a hand applied and hand aged finish, complete with finish checks and playing wear, that makes it virtually indistinguishable from an original. The Distressed F 5 mandolin has a spruce top, flamed maple back and sides, and ebony fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays. Classic appointments include a flowerpot headstock inlay, silver plated, hand engraved hardware, and a vintage reproduction bridge. The hand rubbed, ultra thin Cremona Sunburst finish is carefully aged by the skilled luthiers at the Gibson OAI division in Nashville. The Distressed F 5 comes with a 1920s style rectangular deluxe hardshell case.
