Description
The Epiphone F-5G F-Style Mandolin carries on the rich legacy of mandolins in the Epiphone tradition, dating back to the earliest days when Anastasios Stathopoulos, the company's founder, patented his first mandolin design in 1909. Building on the heritage of Orville Gibson's innovations and Lloyd Loar's iconic F-5 mandolin, this collaboration between Epiphone and the Gibson Custom Shop has given birth to the extraordinary F-5G model. Check it out today if you've been in the market for a top-of-the-line mandolin with an elegant, old-school vibe!
Crafted to the highest standards, the Epiphone F-5G is a faithful recreation of the classic F-5 mandolin, boasting an all-solid wood construction. A Sitka spruce top delivers a punchy, balanced sound with exceptional dynamics, while a figured maple body provides crisp highs and incredible articulation. The F-5G also has a figured maple neck with a 10-12" compound-radius ebony fretboard, allowing for easy chording near the nut and effortless soloing in the upper register.
Aside from its stellar sound and feel, the Epiphone F-5G is a visually stunning instrument. Decked out with a Cremona Sunburst finish and a flowerpot headstock inlay, this mandolin has an elegant yet understated appearance that makes it a perfect fit for any performance. Look closer, and you'll be drawn in by a slew of ornate details, including three-ply top binding, vintage-style tuners with pearloid buttons, and a modern cast tailpiece.
