Why buy a Gibson F5 when you could have “The Goertzen”?!!

[@flamedmahoganytable9749]

The modern darker sound is cool but this woody bright sound is where its at!!

[@johnwashburn3793]

As I understand it, the Acoustic Shoppe in Springfield, Missouri is often looking for mandolins to sell, FYI

[@Sparks53]

It appears to be well made and sounds great and you are a talented player, thanks!

[@tvboy66]

Great looking instrument, awesome sound and, knowing Jeremy, well worth the price.

[@tomehCanada]

Sweet. Excellent sound and build.

Thanks

[@donovanlocken3391]

Ohhh yeah!

[@paulnewsome6289]

Did anybody ever build an F5 mandolin with four or five inches deep body, like a guitar? How would it sound?

[@Hamm-toneGuitars]

A body that deep would lend itself more more nicely to an octave mandolin. Perhaps a larger soundboard area too….

[@rcracingwithjimi]

don't see any link where I can get one

The Goertzen is superior in tone.. can't see the instrument in its totality. The strings on the second mandolin look way beyond their prime. I prefer fully fretted mandolins, no abbreviations or "scoops" Just my thing.

[@thomp9054]

Yeesh, starting at $4800

[@Hamm-toneGuitars]

Canadian $

[@baohuynh9529]

Gibson's mandos start at $6000. $4800 CAD is a good price for a fully carved F-style made by one dude. You spend the time learning how to make an F-style and see how much you wanna charge for it-- a luthier still needs to eat.

[@andrewhamilton2201]

That's actually really cheap in the luthier made mandolin world
