    Default Gibson F9 on UK eBay?

    This looks suspicious to me; a 1983 F9????????

    2nd mandolin off the line on September 23 2008.
    Looks good, definitely not 1983 though since F9 was only introduced in 2002.
    I have let the seller know.
    Hereby & forthwith, any instrument with an odd number of strings shall be considered broken. With regard to mix levels, usually the best approach is treating the mandolin the same as a cowbell.

    Looks to be a very nice F-9, for someone in the UK...

    I was looking at what appears to be seam separation on some of the photos; is this common on F9s?

    Are you referring to the glue line visible between the top and sides and the back and sides at the scroll? I doubt this is a separation. It is just a visible glue line. Ask the seller.
