This F-5 “Fern” is a Master Model, signed by Danny Roberts October 4th, 2004. It features a carved spruce top, flamed maple back & sides, maple neck, bound ebony fingerboard, and gold open-gear tuners. The nut width measures 1.06” with calipers, and the neck has the traditional V profile. The fingerboard is non-radiused, with some moderate fret wear on frets 1-7. Aside from some light marks on the face of the headstock from restringing, the mandolin is in excellent overall condition. The original pickguard is still with the mandolin, tucked safely in the original hardshell case, and could be re-installed at the buyer’s request.
