F-5G Mandolin - Cremona Sunburst
From Epiphone:
"Orville Gibson invented the modern mandolin, and mandolins have been a part of Epiphoneās DNA since its earliest days. Company founder Anastasios Stathopouloās 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 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. Epiphoneās finest mandolin model to date, this exceptional Inspired by Gibson Custom 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 (10ā at the nut, 12ā 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 āThe Epiphoneā and flowerpot headstock inlays, and the rich Cremona Sunburst finish. Whether youāre playing rhythmic chops or lead lines, its tone is balanced, deep, and resonant, with great carrying power. A vintage-style rectangular hardshell case is also included."
