{"product_id":"2014-gibson-f-5-master-model-david-harvey-3549","title":"2014 Gibson F-5 Master Model David Harvey","description":"With its signature label by David Harvey, the Gibson F-5 Master Model is the finest mandolin Gibson builds, and is widely considered to be the best sounding F5 to bear a Gibson inlay on the headstock since the mid 1920s.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nStyled after the Loar-signed Master Model F5 mandolins built nearly 100 years ago, this 2014 example features a carved red spruce top with tuned parallel tone bar bracing, figured maple back and rims, vintage varnish finish, silver-plated hardware, and pearl accents.  There is incredible beauty in the details of this instrument – from the pickguard mounting bracket to the top's perfect quarterflower grain; and from the masterful engraving on the tailpiece to the hand-cut 1920's-inspired flowerpot and Gibson inlays in the headstock.  Deeply quilted maple back, lovely figure in the neck, and a rich Cremona rubbed sunburst throughout.  The silver-plated tailpiece and tuning machines add another layer of classiness, and the pearl tuner buttons finish off the instrument perfectly.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nA throaty, deep, and powerful F5 with a great chop and plenty of cut when you want it, this is a serious bluegrass picker.  The neck feels perfect too; and with its fresh set-up there's nothing to slow you down on this F5.  A remarkable mandolin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\r\nWith Calton case and original Gibson hardshell","brand":"GIBSON","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53613999849838,"sku":null,"price":14995.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0979\/3660\/5550\/files\/F5-0219-Main2.jpg?v=1790968107","url":"https:\/\/folkwaymusic.com\/products\/2014-gibson-f-5-master-model-david-harvey-3549","provider":"Folkway Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
