Orville Gibson invented the modern mandolin, and mandolins have been part of Epiphone's DNA since its beginnings. Company founder Anastasios Stathopoulo's first (and only) patent, filed in 1909, was for a mandolin. Gibson's master luthier, Lloyd Loar, designed the original F-5 mandolin in the early 1920s, and its success led to the creation of new musical genres, such as bluegrass. Today, Epiphone is proud to present its latest mandolins. The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson F-5 Studio mandolin is based on the legendary Loar-designed F-5 and makes the high-quality F-5 style mandolin more accessible than ever. It is constructed entirely of solid wood with solid maple back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top. The maple neck is attached to the body with a glued dovetail assembly and has a laurel fingerboard with 20 frets and a Gibson-style scroll headstock with vintage-style tuners with junk knobs. Its sound is balanced, very invigorating and resonant, with great carrying power, partly thanks to the fine satin finish. A premium cover is also included.
