Company founder Anastasios Stathopoulo’s first (and only) patent, filed in 1909, was for a mandolin. Gibson Master Luthier Lloyd Loar designed the original F-5 mandolin in the early 1920s, and its eventual success led to the creation of new musical genres, such as bluegrass. Now, Epiphone is proud to release its latest mandolins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 gig bag is also included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Epiphone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46861544947900,"sku":"8500706","price":1299.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0735\/6599\/5196\/files\/Epiphone-F-5-Studio-Vintage-Sunburst-Satin-Body_tjetti.jpg?v=1779762970","url":"https:\/\/worldofmusic.com.au\/products\/epiphone-f-5-studio-mandolin-vintage-sunburst-satin","provider":"World of Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
