The thickness of the soundboard on a Gibson F-5 mandolin typically ranges from about 0.125 inches (1/8 inch or approximately 3.2 mm) to 0.2 inches (1/4 inch or around 6.4 mm), depending on specific model variations and individual craftsmanship. This thickness is carefully chosen to balance structural integrity with acoustic resonance, contributing to the instrument's distinct tone and projection.
