Right! At what point is one just paying for the name? I recently got an upgrade and bought a Bourgeois mandolin and will likely be my last purchase. Northfields are great too, but too rich for me.@@GaragebandandBeyond
What a great story about being given your first mandolin. From the early footage of you playing, I'd say you truly deserved it and went on to surpass all expectations!
I would dearly love to have such an instrument, but like most musicians on this planet... I don't have the $20,000. It's a shame that so many instruments made with such precision and craftsmanship will sit in some collectors vault and never really be played... like it should be.
It would be great if Gibson would bring back the Bill Monroe Signature mandolin strings. That chopped off, wider, and radiused fretboard on the F5-G kills any desire for me to own one. I find it totally bizarre that they would go to such lengths to make the Master Model as close to the original Loar, and then screw up the F5-G like this. The sunburst back is nice, but why not keep it like it was. I loved my “07” F5-G!
More of Gibson capitalizing on its past with a "reissue" that cost 5 times what an original F-5 would cost in today's dollars. This isn't even priced at a point where an aspiring player could scrimp and save and attain one. Like the $50K Greeny Les Paul - destined for a display case.
They actually mention that on their website now (finally), and they also acknowledge the rich history of the company at the Gibson Garage. Truthfully, I’m shocked they even have information about these mandolins on their website and more so that they actually made a RUclips video acknowledging that they still make mandolins. It has been years since mandolins have even been listed on their website even though they were still making them.
What happened to the $6399 mando that was a player/professional that didn’t cost $20,000. Gibson is selling a stripped down F5 that looks like crap. Period. Buy an Eastman, a Tone-Gard & save yourself about $4,000 🙄
There is so much EQ on the Mic.... I would have liked to hear a raw tone. It looks amazing and I'm sure it's fantastic, but it's obvious that there is a lot of EQ and Compression on the 414
I wanted to hear what a Gibson Mandolin sounded like. But like the typical woman...blah blah blah blah blah BLAH. Shut up and play woman! I kid, a real talent right there.
That was a really weird comment to make and then say you're joking...it's like you weren't but you didn't want all the backlash of what you said so you added I'm joking
Thank you, Gibson, for finally acknowledging that you still make mandolins.
Incredible mandolin player, singer, songwriter. That mandolin sounds great!
Awesome players, and great sounding mandolins! I just wish they weren't so darn expensive. But, just beautiful!
It's funny how big it looks when shes holding it lol she's awesome
For $20,000 USD, yeah it should sound the way it does.
True, but is it $15k better than a Northfield? I'm not sure....
@@GaragebandandBeyond probably not.
Guess I'm stuck with my $15 Rogue then, lol

There's a fella in Warren, Ohio about an hour drive for me that can build mandolin like that for 3500.00. And the sound is as bluegrass as it gets.
My daughter just started playing and she loves it so I can't wait to upgrade her to a Gibson
Here's hoping you have deep pockets!! They aren't cheap but they are worth it!

Sierra is so cool :)

Don’t be jelly brah. Something has to be this way.
Souls builders make these things for free? You think 20K is expensive try getting into classic cars.
For that price i would expect it to have hot and cold running water 😂😂

Gibson should put out a Gene Simmons mandolin.
I didn't realize Gene was known for his mandolin playing lol
Still no mention of kalamazoo, the roots of gibson and loyd loar

I think they made a mistake on the price🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You get what you pay for there is a everyman's version for 5000 there's gotta be a bench mark or there's nothing to reach for good on gibson

Sounds like a million bucks, but wouldn’t pay 20 grand for it.
And yet they will sell everyone they make lol.

Why does Gibson roast their guitar / necks? I mean if one by products is reduced weight, why not do it? Or did they try and it was no good.
Give me a break.
She cute
