Epiphone F-5 Mandolin F-Style, All Solid, Gig Bag - Vintage Sunburst
This mandolin sounds excellent, thanks to its all solid-wood construction - solid maple for the back and sides, and a solid Sitka Spruce top - and looks fantastic in its traditional F style build.
The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson F-5 Studio mandolin is based on the legendary Loar-designed F-5 and makes a high-quality F-5 style mandolin more accessible than ever. It features all-solid-wood construction with a solid maple back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top. The maple neck is attached to the body with a glued dovetail joint and has a laurel fretboard with 20 frets and a Gibson- style scroll headstock with vintage-style tuners with pearloid buttons. Its sound is balanced, highly toneful, and resonant with great carrying power in part due to the thin satin finish. A premium gigbag is also included.
