Gibson Custom Sierra Hull F-5G Mandolin - Sunburst

Gibson

$ 8,499.00 $ 10,198.00

A new signature version of the F-5G, with customizations specified by Sierra Hull

Sierra Hull is a mandolin virtuoso, singer, guitarist, and songwriter known for her exceptional technical proficiency and unique musical style, which blends elements of bluegrass, Americana, folk, jazz, and modern progressive acoustic music. She started playing mandolin at age eight and performed at the Grand Ole Opry by age ten. Her performances quickly attracted the attention of other highly skilled bluegrass musicians, and she has collaborated with and received accolades from other notable artists, including Gillian Welch, Béla Fleck, Dolly Parton, Brandi Carlile, and Alison Krauss. Her debut album, Secrets, was released in 2008, and she has followed it up with other critically acclaimed albums, including 2011’s Daybreak, 2016’s Weighted Mind, and 2020's 25 Trips, which cemented her place as one of the most innovative musicians in contemporary bluegrass and acoustic music. Her recently released fifth studio album, A Tip Toe High Wire, marks her first album in five years. Sierra embraced creative freedom and not only self-produced but also released the album independently–the first of her albums to be so released. A two-time Grammy® Award nominee, she is the only woman to have been nominated for, let alone win, seven IBMA Mandolin Player of the Year awards. She is also the first woman to have a signature series Gibson mandolin.

Sierra Hull continues to delight and inspire audiences worldwide with her innovative artistry. Now, Gibson Custom is proud to introduce the Sierra Hull F-5G mandolin, an impressive yet accessible mandolin built on the Gibson F-5G mandolin platform with customizations specified directly by Sierra Hull. It features a two-piece, quarter-sawn figured red maple body with a multi-ply celluloid nitrate bound, carved solid Sitka spruce top, and flat-sawn figured red maple sides. The Sierra Hull F-5G is finished with a real, hand-applied VOS varnish finish in a Sierra Burst color, a first for the F-5G platform. The figured red maple neck has an ebony fretboard equipped with 20 medium frets and adorned with mother-of-pearl dot inlays. The Historic scroll headstock is equipped with Grover® tuning machines, a mother-of-pearl nut, and “The Gibson” logo and Flowerpot adorning it are also inlaid in mother of pearl. The bridge is ebony, and the hardware is nickel, including the nickel-plated tailpiece cover, which is engraved with “The Gibson” and Sierra Hull’s initials. The Sierra Hull F-5G comes with a certificate of authenticity and a Sierra Hull BlueChip pick and is packed in a hardshell case to help keep it safe when traveling.

Ibanez AUC14 Ukulele - Open Pore Violin Sunburst

Ibanez

$ 199.99 $ 299.99

The AU series features very unique construction. Rather than being built with a separate top, sides, and back like most ukuleles, the body of the AU starts as a solid block of wood and is routed out, so that the back and sides are a single piece of wood. A top is then added to complete the body. This construction method gives these instruments a unique sound and brilliant playability. They also utilize distinctive features such as a Stereo Sound Port, Elevated Comfort Armrest, and Edgeless Comfort Heel.

Kala Archtop Tenor Ukulele - Chicago Red

Kala

$ 309.00 $ 409.00

The Archtop line has a classic jazzy look that is embellished with stylish F-holes. Inspired by authentic vintage styled guitars, we’ve turned our favorite concepts into beautiful ukuleles. One of many factors that sets our Archtops above all other F-hole style ukuleles on the market is in fact the arched top. Originally, a key feature of violin and now guitar and mandolin, an archtop instrument is a work of art. Not only does it take a skilled luthier to create, but it makes a louder punchier instrument. We’ve taken time and care to create the most authentic and superior ukulele of its kind.
