Additional information

Gibson Flatiron “Festival” Mandolin

Serial No. 0905120010, Gibson Flatiron “Festival” Mandolin. Built for Gibson by Foreign Manufacturer. The all solid wood, fully bound, tone bar constructed Flatiron “Festival” mandolin boasts the classic lines inspired by the famous Gibson-created F-style mandolins. With its solid spruce top, flamed maple back and incredible full bodied tone, the Flatiron “Festival” is bold and reverberating in appearance and sound. From crisp chops to articulate melodic lines, the Flatiron “Festival” satisfies in every way.

This mandolin has the Gibson name, style, quality and sound for a lot less money than Gibson's American made instruments.

The instrument has no scratches or damage, however there are 2 tiny dings in the pickguard, which are barely visable and do not spoil the finish in any way.

I live in Sheffield and as the mandolin has no bag I would prefer it to be collected rather than posted and pay cash on collection.
