    Default 1920 Gibson F4

    Just picked up this beauty of a 1920 F4, refurbished by Binghamton NY luthier Tom Dobrovich, who specializes mostly in vintage Gibson Guitars, he glued the top just above the tail piece, replaced the pick guard and did an amazing job refinishing the neck. It has the original bridge and case. I love the wide neck and the tone, sustain and playability are fantastic. Now I know what all those F4 owners were talking about.

    They are the most beautiful mandolins --in my view anyway. When you get a good one, keep it.
