Returns Simplified.Orville Gibson invented the modern mandolin, and mandolins have been a part ofEpiphones DNA since its earliest days. Company founder Anastasios Stathopoulos first(and only) patent, filed in 1909, was for a mandolin. Gibson Master Luthier Lloyd Loardesigned the original F-5 mandolin in the early 1920s, and its eventual success led to thecreation of new musical genres, such as bluegrass.Now, Epiphone is proud to release itslatest mandolins. The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson F-5 Studio mandolin is based on thelegendary Loar-designed F-5 and makes a high-quality F-5 style mandolin moreaccessible than ever.
It features all-solid wood construction with a solid maple back andsides and a solid Sitka spruce top. The maple neck is attached to the body with a glueddovetail joint and has a laurel fretboard with 20 frets and a Gibson-style scroll headstockwith vintage-style tuners with pearloid buttons. Its sound is balanced, highly toneful, andresonant, with great carrying power, in part due to the thin satin finish.
