Re: New Gibson F9s produced by David Harvey: Wow!
Of those recent (post-flood) ones I've been able to check out (2 Ferns, a Goldrush and and F-9) they were all absolutely superb. They've really got those classic Gibson tones down to a 'T'. Very consistent too, with tidy work, fine materials and very nice finish. Even the 'factory' setup was exceptional. Playable literally out of the box in every case.
Cannot go wrong at the moment with these. Best Gibson mandolins in a very (very) long time.
