Special / Sale Price - 1994 Paganoni F-5The B-1 Masterpiece
.
MandoMutt's very first Paganoni. This is Doyle Lawson model B-1, number DL5 and was formerly owned by Doyle and also Allan Bibey.
A remarkable instrument featuring; German Silver Spruce top, highly figured Maple back/sides/neck in a medium caramel sunburst varnish finish, 3-ply bindings top/back/headstock, single ivoroid bound fretboard.
Flat Ebony fretboard with scooped extension, Abalone Fern headstock inlay and chrome hardware including engraved traditional tailpiece and Gotoh tuning gears.
Extraordinary sound. Nothing sounds better than a great mandolin that's been played for thousands of hours and much of those hours were by two of the best. Nice dry tone that really pop's. This is an ideal bluegrass mandolin featuring a killer mid-range, even balance and solid chop.
Excellent-minus condition. Has some natural "distressing" with wear slightly into the wood where the arm rests and below the strings from some energetic pickin'. Body also has scratches and small dings. Headstock has an abundance of string scratches and such. Finish is somewhat worn on back of neck. Frets have slight wear.
Includes Paganoni case. Trades considered.
