This vintage 1917 Gibson F4 Mandolin is quite the player. Its vintage sound is unmistakable, with a rich, woody tone and a sweet high end. It has had some work done, including a replacement adjustable bridge, replacement tuners, and a repaired top crack (see photo). Beautiful color, a smooth neck, and pristine headstock inlay. Factory order no. 11032, serial no. 48287. This 1917 Gibson F4 Mandolin comes with its very worn original hard case too.
