Awesome deal on a fantastic playing and sounding Epiphone F-5 Studio in a gorgeous Wine Red Satin Finish!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrville Gibson invented the modern mandolin, and mandolins have been a part 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 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. The 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\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGibson F-Style Body Shape\u003cbr\u003eSolid Sitka Spruce Top\u003cbr\u003eSolid Maple Back and Sides\u003cbr\u003eSingle Ply Top and Fretboard Binding\u003cbr\u003eSatin Wine Red Finish\u003cbr\u003eMaple Neck\u003cbr\u003eIndian Laurel Fretboard\u003cbr\u003eC-Shape Neck Profile\u003cbr\u003e13.779\" Scale Length\u003cbr\u003e15.984\" Fretboard Radius\u003cbr\u003e20 Narrow Medium Frets\u003cbr\u003eBone Nut\u003cbr\u003e1.125\" Nut Width\u003cbr\u003eDovetail Neck Joint\u003cbr\u003eNickel Hardware\u003cbr\u003eIndian Laurel Adjustable Compensated Bridge\u003cbr\u003eTraditional Stamped Tailpiece\u003cbr\u003eVintage F-Style Tuning Machine w\/ Pearloid Buttons\u003cbr\u003eAdjustable Truss Rod\u003cbr\u003e1-Ply Black Bell Truss Rod Cover\u003cbr\u003eEpiphone Gig Bag Included\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Epiphone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55418240401707,"sku":null,"price":499.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7300\/files\/IMG_9172.jpg?v=1788459306","url":"https:\/\/www.morrellmusic.com\/products\/epiphone-f-5-studio-f-style-mandolin-wine-red-satin-w-gig-bag","provider":"Morrell Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
