As the name suggests, the Epiphone F-5 Studio mandolin has an F-style design and takes after classic designs by none other than Epiphone-founder Anastasio Stathopoulo, Gibson-founder Orville Gibson, and master-builder Lloyd Loa. This Inspired by Gibson Collection model exudes pure quality and comes wrapped up in its own premium gig bag. The F-5 Studio: Pure Satisfaction The F-5 Studio features an all-solid construction where the soundboard has been carved out of Sitka spruce and the body and neck have been fashioned from maple for an extra dose of projection power and tonal clarity. The C-profile neck combines with the smooth feel of a satin-gloss finish and the satisfying looks of a Gibson-style scroll headstock, completing a bluegrass-worthy instrument fit for royalty.
