For sale is one Triggs Fern F-Style Mandolin. This is the first Fern I've made since I left Gibson. This mandolin features a red spruce top, traditional eastern maple back, rims, and neck, and traditional Fern inlay pattern in the peghead that was based off the original Gibson Fern blueprints from the early 1920's. It has a satin finish with a color very similar to the mandolin that we made for Bobby Clark which can be seen on the Benson & Clark page. The back of the neck has been stripped for added playability. You can get up and down the neck very easily with no finish getting in your way. This is an outstanding looking and sounding mandolin. Price is $8500. We added a traditional shaped ebony pickguard this week. Please email us for more specifications. NO LONGER FOR SALE. CURRENTLY BEING PLAYED ON STAGE BY WAYNE BENSON OF IIIrd TYME OUT. Pictures are below:
