Orville Gibson Gibson F-5 Master Model Loar Reissue M A N D GIBSON MANDOLINS "The Gibson, " for over 100 years, has defined the word mandolin. Starting with the original design of the F-style mandolin it remains the only one true mandolin despite the many copies on the market today. With original advances in design and construction, Gibson has remained the choice of musicians the world over. All Gibson mandolins are hand-built to precise graduations, specific tap-tunings, hand-fit dovetail neck joints, superior wood selection and hand-stained thinly applied finishes. The result is an instrument of impeccable fit and finish with unsurpassable tone and built in the grand tradition we first set. Gibson mandolins are not only the definitive mandolin to purchase, they are an investment. Gibson instruments consistently retain their resale value, and over time, actually increase in value. If one looks at the number of professional mandolin players and compares the number of Gibson mandolins to all other brands, Gibson outranks the competition in number and tone. Become one of the elite -- own a Gibson.
