Gibson Sierra Hull F 5 Master Model Mandolin - F5SHMMVOSBSH1

Gibson Sierra Hull Master Model Mandolin

Signature craftsmanship honoring a modern mandolin virtuoso

The Gibson Sierra Hull Master Model Mandolin celebrates one of the most gifted acoustic musicians of our time. Sierra Hull—renowned mandolinist, guitarist, and singer-songwriter—has redefined modern bluegrass and progressive acoustic music with her unmatched technical mastery and expressive artistry. A two-time Grammy® Award nominee and six-time IBMA Mandolin Player of the Year, she remains the only woman to earn those honors and the first to have a Gibson signature mandolin. Her signature Sierra Hull Master Model is built by the Gibson Custom Shop to the exact specifications of her original F-5 Master Model, continuing the legacy of the world’s most coveted mandolin design.

This exquisite instrument features an F-style body with a multi-ply bound carved red spruce top, paired with a multi-ply bound eastern curly maple back for superior tonal depth and clarity. A hand-applied Sierra Burst VOS varnish finish highlights the striking maple figure while allowing the wood to breathe and resonate freely. The eastern slab curly maple neck features Sierra’s custom narrow neck profile for exceptional playability, complemented by an ebony fretboard adorned with mother-of-pearl dot inlays. Finishing touches include a custom-engraved truss rod cover bearing her signature, a tailpiece cover with her initials, and premium silver-plated Waverly tuners. Each instrument arrives with a vintage replica case, certificate of authenticity, a Sierra Hull BlueChip pick, custom paisley leather strap, and a pack of stickers—capturing the personal spirit and artistry of its namesake.
