Hi all! I just acquired a beautiful 2007 F-9 Gibson mandolin in vintage brown sunburst. It was used of course but is in great condition.
I am trying to figure out if it was produced under Dave Harvey or not. I realize that's a little OCD of me, but I really have a deep respect for Mr. Harvey and would be honored to have a mandolin produced under his guidance, even though it isn't signed by anyone as it's just a lowly F9.
I called Gibson with the serial number and they could only confirm the year 2007 and some other basic information, and told me that they switched master luthiers that year and couldn't be specific about who was at the helm when this mando was made.
Anyone able to help me solve this? I'd be happy to provide a different picture, serial # etc at your request. just let me know what you need!
