Sierra Hull is not only one of the most innovative mandolin players of our time, but also the first woman to have a signature Gibson mandolin! This F5G is built on the renowned F5G platform, customized with Sierra’s personal specifications. With its unique SieraBurst VOS varnish finish and thoughtful modifications, this mandolin is tailored aesthetically and functionally to her playing style!

Sierra Hull began playing the mandolin at the age of eight and was performing on the Grand Ole Opry stage just two years later. Since then, she has become an artist who seamlessly blends bluegrass, Americana, folk, and jazz. As a two-time Grammy nominee and six-time IBMA Mandolin Player of the Year, she has truly earned her place in the mandolin world. This signature mandolin is the result of years of collaboration between Gibson and a musician who knows exactly what she needs.

The combination of carved Sitka spruce and figured maple delivers a bright, articulate tone with excellent projection. The mandolin responds instantly to the lightest touch and has the dynamic range required for both intimate fingerstyle passages and powerful bluegrass runs. A special detail is the nickel-plated tailpiece cover featuring “The Gibson” logo and Sierra’s initials. The mandolin comes with a certificate, a Sierra Hull Blue Chip pick, and a hardshell case.
