satin finish, 1 1/16" nut width, flat fretboard, small frets. lightweight, headstock balanced, very woody resonant tone, crazy low action without a buzz, plays effortless, no florida to hit or scoop. nice tuners.
thanks once again to TheMandolinStore for delivering yet another stellar mandolin.
i love this F9.
puts me in the mind of "back in the day" when you bought a Harley Superglide. it didn't have all the glitter or chrome or extra heavy additions. the Superglide would take you anywhere you wanted to go and of the Harley models at the time, was the better handling in the mountains and curves. could haul --- all across the country. had space for your lady(and in comfort for her with a big double step seat and med height bar). drag bars, forward set controls/pegs, straight pipes, rejet the carb, saddle bags,rainsuits, and off you go. the SuperGlide would get you there and back in style and comfort.
these days the Harvey team have definitely stepped up the offering on the F9. wood choice/burst pattern is very pleasing to the eye and the touch. fit and finish are right at the top with anybody. and rarely offered these days as standard outside of Gibson-old school flat fretboard and the fast playing 1 1/16" nut width and superbly shaped neck. you want that old school tone, get it at the source.
"a whole lotta of something"
