The Industry Standard for Professional Quality Mandolins.
Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence. Each instrument celebrates Gibson's legacy through accuracy, authenticity, and attention to detail.
The F-5G is a Modern Collection version of Gibson’s iconic F-5 design. Tuned to the needs of modern mandolin players, its player-friendly specs include an unbound ebony fingerboard, a 14-degree fingerboard radius, no pickguard, and a short fingerboard extension. The neck and body are made from figured red maple and are coupled with a carved Sitka spruce top. The F-5G features refreshed specifications, contours, and construction for optimal acoustic response. Finished in Dark Burst gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, a hardshell case is included.
