Flawless Gibson feel, in an unembellished style.
The standard F-style Gibson Jam Master Mandolin descends straight out of Gibson tradition, delivering
a fresh new take on one of Gibson's most popular mandolins.
Each Gibson F-style is crafted with all the artistry of
a world-class mandolin maker. The result is the no-nonsense, hard-traveled, but much-loved look of a superb mandolin that
fits in at any musical occasion.
The F-style mandolin's stripped-down appointments offer a simple yet elegant look.
The mandolin is graced with performance-enhancing elements that players of the Jam Masters Series will certainly appreciate.
F-holes remain unbound, there's no neck or headstock binding, no position markers on the fretboard (side dots only), and no
inlay on the peghead, just the timeless Gibson logo decal. All of the notable luthiery features you do find, however, are
in the tone and playability departments.
Bigger frets, plus the satin finish equals improved performance
This F-style Jam Master Standard Mandolin features a top carved from solid spruce, trimmed with simple single-ply binding
to contrast its classic Gibson Sheraton Brown color with satin lacquer finish. The back and sides are constructed from figured
maple, and the figured maple necks are hand-shaped to Gibson's popular "rounded V" profile, with a 1-3/16" width at the nut
providing enhanced comfort and finger room across the radiused ebony fingerboard. Thirteen of the mandolin's 20 frets clear
the body, and are a little bigger than the traditional frets typically fitted on vintage mandolins—a modification that
improves fingering for many players and playing styles, and one that many contemporary players are sure to appreciate. Advanced
constructional features include Gibson's time-tested tone bar bracing, a radiused dovetail neck joint, and a genuine bone
nut, all of which help to enhance the instrument's resonance and projection. An adjustable ebony bridge and nickel Grover
tuners round out the package.
This instrument comes in a snug pouch-plentiful padded travel bag, making it ready for
the road and easy to haul from site to site.
