Gibson F-4 Oval Hole Mandolin Sunburst, 1916

On January 5, 2023 /

Built from 1902 to 1934, the Gibson F-4 Oval Hole F-Style mandolin was the top of the line until 1922 when Lloyd Loar introduced the F-hole F-5 model. Both models were then built until 1943, when WW2 interrupted production. The Gibson F-4 and F-5 paired an Adirondack Spruce top with a carved figured Maple back.
