This was very interesting to hear. I love my 2015 David Harvey sign F5G. It is very much traditionally built with the narrow nut, flat fretboard, dark burst and Florida fretboard extension. It’s a great mandolin! Thanks for this video!
Nice video. Good for Mr Harvey and the rest of the people who are trying to do right by the Loar legacy. But I'm willing to wager that new one doesn't come with a Virzi Tone Enhancer...
How much would just the case run me? I inherited my father's early 20's Gibson mandolin. The case was destroyed in the 90's and I'd, very much, like to replace it. Looking for a case to a late 40's - early 50's Gibson/Les Paul electric/acoustic guitar that needs some restoration but I don't trust just anyone. Any suggestions on either?
Most modern players either scoop the extension or cut it off like on the Sam Bush model to avoid the clicking sound, so Gibson went ahead and removed it to make the F5G their "road ready" model.
Always makes me wonder if they’re outsourcing most of it and just finishing it like they did their banjos. Gibson banjos were built by First Quality Music Supply (Sullivan Banjos) and Gibson slapped their name on them. They wouldn’t tell us if they were.
We've visited the custom shop in Nashville, and these are all built by David's team in-house from start to finish. We hope to film a tour next time we're in Nashville.
What’s interesting to me is the trouble that Gibson went through to painstakingly manufacture these Master Model cases. No one is going to use that case they will more than likely spend another $1200 and buy a Calton or Hoffee to protect their investment. It would probably be cheaper if Gibson would just offer one of those above mentioned cases and not deal with manufacturing a case that will never be used just for nostalgic purposes.

The mandolin sounds and looks great! Gibson did a fine job on it.

No, but that would be pretty sweet. I bet David would be down...
@@AcousticShoppe Wouldn't it? Maybe a bit pricey, but in the interests of science...🤔

Didn’t know Loyd was still kicking🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yea but his handwriting is pretty shaky, I'll bet.
It might have the smell of a pee soaked Depends as well.
I wonder what the price is for this edition.
The F5G at the time of this post is $5999, and the 1923 F5 Master Model Reissue is $19,999.
Thank you for the prompt response! You guys have been a valuable resource.
The F5G sounds ever bit as good and you can save 14,000 dollars.
