This vintage Gibson F-2 is in Excellent condition, especially for being nearly 90 years old. Finding a mandolin this clean and in such good condition after all these years doesn't happen often, so here's your chance to pick up an incredible F-style mando. Here with a Spruce top and Maple back and sides, it has a nice and warm red sunburst finish and an even nicer tone.

This has a 13 7/8" scale length and a 1 5/32" nut width. Some nice appointments help it stand out, too: binding; a double rope pattern with center rosette; and pearl dot inlays. Other cool features include an adjustable truss rod and bridge, and closed-gear tuners. This used Gibson F-2 mandolin includes its original hardshell case.
