This Gibson F5-L delivers a woody, articulate and punchy mandolin and is a Master Model build by Gibson luthier Sim Daley. Inspired by the Fern inlay Loar-era F5s, this model sports a gorgeous interpretation of that vintage headstock inlay, along with matching gold hardware found on those rare builds.
