Pete Seeger on the mandolin

[Mando Mafia]

‘Rye Straw’(or ‘Joke on the Puppy’) with the New Lost City Ramblers on Pete’s ‘Rainbow Quest’ TV show….mandolin piece starts at 46.58.

Can anyone identify the mandolin? A blonde Gibson F5 maybe? The show was from a series broadcast from 1965-66.

Thanks. Pete was certainly no slouch on the mandolin. (The tune you named is followed by "Ragtime Annie.")

If you don't get a response to your question, you might try re-posting under "General Discussions" where you'll find more luthiers and other experts on instruments.
