Re: I am in love - Gibson F5-G
Reading your posts .. this is the first time in a long time you've had a Gibson mandolin in your hands. So now the question is ... do you like Gibson F5-Gs in general ... or did this mandolin call you from the wall? I was in a guitar store to pick up strings and stuff when a '52 Reissue Tele called me from the wall. I had no interest .. wasn't looking .. wasn't even thinking about an electric guitar ... but that butterscotch beauty had me at "Ryk . up here."
If your down the road destination is a F5-G .. you know where you're headed ... just don't know when you'll get there. If it's this one that's called you and it slips away your destination is heartbreak.
Good luck!
