A Mandolin Inspired by Gibson
The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson F-5 Studio mandolin is based on the legendary Loar-designed F-5, offering high-quality all-solid wood construction with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid maple back and sides. The maple neck is set with a glued dovetail joint and features a smooth laurel fretboard with 20 frets. A Gibson-style scroll headstock and vintage-style tuners with pearloid buttons complete its classic look.
Its tone is balanced, rich, and resonant, enhanced by a thin satin finish for natural vibration. A premium gig bag is included for convenience and protection.
The Gibson Bluegrass Collection Connection
The F-5 Studio connects to the Gibson Bluegrass Collection, a line honoring traditional American acoustic music. This collection includes mandolins, banjos, and acoustic instruments crafted with premium tonewoods and historic design features.
The collection delivers the signature projection, clarity, and resonance ideal for bluegrass, folk, and Americana. Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson instruments extend this legacy, offering authentic tone and craftsmanship at a more accessible price point.
