The Gibson F-9 Mandolin is based on the original, classic and uniquely American F-Style design by Orville Gibson in the closing days of the 1800s. These groundbreaking instruments brought violin-family concepts into the mandolin and guitar worlds, and were extremely important influences.
The Gibson F-9 Mandolin is now out of production; for a time, following the 2010 Nashville floods, Gibson ended mandolin (and banjo) production entirely. This example dates to around 2001 and is in good playing condition, with some wear; it’s been played and you can hear that in the crisp, open, responsive tone. A K&K mandolin pickup has been installed, and a tweed case is included.
Currently, Gibson Mandolins are not mentioned on their website and appear to be out of production.
