Description
The Gibson Sam Bush Model Mandolin is a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, drawing inspiration from the golden era of mandolin craftsmanship. With its hand-rubbed nitrocellulose lacquer finish, this instrument echoes the aesthetics of the '20s while infusing modern playability. Crafted with the most select figured maple for its back, sides, and neck, and topped with premium select spruce, this mandolin resonates with a rich, warm tone that captivates both players and listeners alike.
The mandolin's neck, characterized by an unfinished back and a chunky profile reminiscent of the late '30s, offers a comfortable grip, ensuring hours of effortless play. The ebony fingerboard, adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays, not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides a smooth playing surface. With string spacing precisely set to Sam Bush's specifications, it promises a playing experience that is both intimate and expansive. The sandblasted gold-plated hardware adds a touch of elegance, while the tailpiece, featuring Sam's signature, seals its authenticity and connection to the legendary musician.
Whether you're strumming in the studio or performing on stage, the Gibson Sam Bush Model Mandolin is built to inspire and elevate your musical journey.
