    Default Case for 1988 Gibson F5

    Hi. I have a 1988 Gibson F5L mandolin that I would like to find an original case for but I’m not sure what they looked like. I believe they were rectangular with a Gibson badge but I’m not sure what colour the interior was. If anyone has pictures of theirs or can post a link to pictures it would be helpful for my search. Thank you.

    Well .... I think that I have the case my F5L came in. There is no Gibson badge, and the interior is maroon with a single case / pocket in the lower left corner. The exterior has metal corner covers all around and there are three latches left right and under the grip. R/
    I love hanging out with mandolin nerds . . . . . Thanks peeps ...

    Here’s one. The outside is plain, but I’m having trouble attaching a second photo. Good luck.

    Here is Gibson F5-L case with the maroon lining from about 1991, inside is 2002 Derrington MM.
    These are robust cases and have a nice stitched leather handle grip.
    Lo-Fi, send me a PM if you want some more photos.

    I have an 88’ and have upgraded to a Calton. I’ll sell you the original if you’re wanting it
