Gibson F-5 G

[farmer2]

I am looking to buy a used Gibson F-5 G. What are some key things to look for (structurally) to make sure it is O.K. ? Are the Montana built ones more desirable than the Nashville built ones ? Thanks !

I've had my eye on a freinds F-5G from Bozeman, since I started playin. As good of a mandolin as just about everyone I've ever play, expect the Loar. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
