Signed by highly regarded Gibson builder and engineer Charlie Derrington, known for his decades long stint at the historic manufacturer before his untimely death, against all his traditional stylings, this is an X-Braced F5! With a lacquer finish that’s 30 years old, there’s a good deal of wear on this old gal, but it’s got a great warm, punchy sound that can be heard clear across rooms. One repaired top crack on bass side. Neck finish has been “speed necked”. Fern inlay on the headstock.

K&K mandolin twin installed!
