Product Description
Bob Givens built relatively few F-5 models compared to the various A-models he produced. These F-5's with master grade Maple, red-gold sunburst and elaborate handcut inlays are especially rare, with estimates of perhaps only around 30 pieces made between about 1986 and the end of 1992.
The woods: Highly figured Maple back, sides and neck. The fine Maple used in this mandolin is master grade aged wood, with primary and secondary figure that are amazing. The top is high quality Englemann Spruce that Bob Givens harvested himself.
Fully bound with multiple ivoroid bindings: top, back, and sides of body and peghead, and black line showing at side of fingerboard. Peghead shows tasteful R.L. Givens logo in script at top with elaborate torch inlay in center. This torch is a unique design to RL Givens' A-6 and F-5 mandolins from about 1986 until his death in early 1993. These are very elaborate hand-cut, hand-engraved pieces of art, and they complement the tasteful engraved 'snowflakes' inlaid into the Ebony fingerboard.
Radiused Ebony fingerboard. Handmade Ebony adjustable bridge. Beautiful red-gold sunburst color with very thin expertly applied finish.
The sound: It is difficult to describe this mandolin sound without using too many superlatives! It is among the finest ever, if not "THE finest ever". Great attack, great volume and projection... beauty, power, refinement... This is truly one of the finest examples of a Givens mandolin and one of the best sounding mandolins we have seen through here in a while!
