Epiphone F-5 Studio (Incl. Premium Gig Bag) Vintage Sunburst Satin

Background: Designed by Gibson Instrument Designer Lloyd Loar, the F-5 became the most popular and most imitated American mandolin, and the best-known F-5 was owned by Bill Monroe, the father of bluegrass music, who in turn helped identify the F-5 as the ultimate bluegrass mandolin. These Epiphone Inspired by Gibson models represent the beautiful Gibson shape with a full, resonant, well-balanced tone and great carrying power, all at an accessible price. Features include Gibson F-style scroll headstock, vintage-style tuners, single bound top with maple back and sides with spruce top, glued dovetail neck to body joint, and a premium gig bag.
