Hello, I’m a member of The Gear Page and I was referred here. My Girlfriend owns a Mandolin and was looking to sell it but have no idea of the value Of the instrument it is a Gibson Master model F5G Custom. Inside the f hole is Charlie Derrington signature as the builder. The instrument It’s been sitting on her wall since 1998 who won the mandolin in a contest and it has a Winterhawk bluegrass festival name plate on the headstock. Would Any information on this even the local dealership couldn’t put a value on it.

Well to the right buyer as Derrington signed mandolins are pretty good I think you could ask 4500 or so if all is fine with the neck from hanging on the wall?

Condition is going to dictate the resale.
