Re: Old Gibson Mandolins in UK
I was about to suggest checking with Trevor in Brighton but it looks as if he is sold out of them too! What's going on? He usually has at least 3 or 4.
Personally I love my 1920 F4 for playing Bach and general noodling. It's shorter, wider neck and lower action don't lend themselves to the volume you need for live jamming, but it require so much less effort than an F5 - and sounds much sweeter!
Every player needs an old Gibbo oval hole! Good luck.
2016 Gibson Sam Bush F5
1937 Gibson F-7

Some other stuff made by National, Randy Wood and other cool people.
