The Gibson F‐5 Sierra Hull Master Mandolin celebrates the artistry of one of the most innovative musicians in contemporary bluegrass and acoustic music. Designed to the exact specifications of Sierra Hull's original F‐5 Master Model, this instrument represents the pinnacle of mandolin craftsmanship, combining elegance, tonal depth, and precision. It features an F‐style body crafted from two‐piece quarter‐sawn figured maple with flat‐sawn maple sides and a carved red spruce top. Finished in a hand‐applied Sierra Burst VOS varnish, the mandolin radiates both warmth and sophistication.
The eastern maple neck showcases Sierra Hull's custom narrow profile, paired with a luxurious ebony fretboard adorned with 29 frets and mother‐of‐pearl dot inlays. Every detail is designed for comfort and responsiveness, allowing for the intricate, expressive playing that defines Sierra's signature sound. A mother‐of‐pearl nut, silver‐plated tailpiece engraved with Sierra's name, and Waverly silver tuning machines highlight Gibson's dedication to exceptional build quality and performance. The result is a mandolin that delivers unmatched tone, clarity, and projection ideal for stage, studio, and beyond.
The Gibson F‐5 Sierra Hull Master Mandolin includes a certificate of authenticity, a Sierra Hull BlueChip pick, a pack of stickers, a custom paisley leather strap, and a vintage replica hard case. This limited edition model is a true collector's piece that embodies the legacy of Sierra Hull and Gibson's enduring tradition of excellence.
