1945 F-5 at RetroFret
You don't see many Gibsons from this period. And I've never seen one that looked so fine.
I have not seen it in hand, or had a chance to play. And no financial interest. But I'm hoping to look it over next time I'm back in Brooklyn.
Neck reset makes a lot of sense in this case. As for the price $45K could be considered a big savings over an F-5 made 20 years earlier, or a big premium over one made 10 years later. ;-)

Reftrofret has a wonderful range of vintage mandolins currently. I wish I lived closer:
