Epiphone and Gibson Custom Collaborate on an Exceptional Mandolin
Orville Gibson invented the modern mandolin, and mandolins have been apart of
Epiphone’s DNA since its earliest days. Company founder Anastasios Stathopoulo’s first
(and only) patent, filed in 1909, was for a mandolin. Gibson Master Luthie rLloyd Loar
designed the original F-5 mandolin in the early 1920s, and its eventual success even led
to the creation of new musical genres, such as bluegrass. Now, Epiphone has
collaborated with the Gibson Custom Shop on the new F-5G. Epiphone’s finest mandolin
model to date, this exceptional Inspired by Gibson Custom Shop instrument is a faithful
recreation of the time-honored original. It features all solid wood construction with a
figured maple back and sides and a solid Sitka Spruce top. The figured maple neck has
an ebony fretboard with a compound radius (10” at the nut, 12” at the end of the
fretboard and an F-style scroll headstock with vintage-style tuners with pearloid buttons.
Ornate touches include the three-ply top binding, mother-of-pearl “The Epiphone” and
flowerpot headstock inlays, and the rich Cremona Sunburst finish. Whether you’re playing
rhythmic chops or leadlines, its tone is balanced, deep, and resonant, with great carrying
power. A vintage-style rectangular hardshell case is also included.
