Gibson Original Acoustic Instruments and SamBush.com are teaming up to bring you an opportunity to win a Sam Bush Signature mandolin. This mandolin is a replica of Sam’s personal F-5 and is reminiscent of the highly prized 1930’s Gibson F-5, but with the subtle nuances that make Sam’s mandolin, and his sound, so unique. From the wider neck, to the radiused fingerboard and larger frets, this mandolin is Gibson’s tribute to the modern mandolin master and the luthier’s craft. Other features include 30’s style inlays on the headstock, block inlays on the fingerboard, Sam’s personal string spacing, a signature tailpiece cover, and Sam’s personal preference — a shaped case.
Entries must be recieved by 11:59 CST Oct. 8, 2007 and can be submitted online.
