Gibson F-12 Mandolin 1949 - Sunburst

This shop is 6 miles away from Mandolin Camp North. Message me if you’re in the area!

This is one of 89 (yes only 89). That were made in 1949. In the late forties total maybe a couple hundred and yet these remain one of the most popular mandos out there…get it while you can.

So this is priced to move so I’m not really that flexible on price. every thing on this is original and functional. Ready to rock a fancy or festival. I think the one only things to mention is it looks like the binding may have been repainted years ago from a small crack by the scroll. it took me like a week to find it…it’s in the pics.

Oh there is a metal tag on the headstock, most likely from the shop where it was originally sold. Nice little old school touch!

You’ll see a string is missing in the pics. I’ll probably restring it, reset the bridge and clean it up quite a bit. Once we do that, I’ll probably charge bench time and raise the price maybe 75 bucks. If you want it now for the lower price, take advantage now!
