A throwback that harkens back to the days when mandolin orchestras were at the height of popularity, the Epiphone F-5G is a faithful re-creation of a historic design created by Lloyd Loar — a design cemented in history by the legendary Father of Bluegrass, Bill Monroe! Epiphone’s take on this stunning mandolin starts with a Sitka spruce top, figured maple back, sides, and neck, and a luscious ebony fingerboard. The F-style body, complete with its F-holes, cuts a musically inspiring scene both visually and sonically. The F-5G sports a bright, musical choice of woods that are able to shine through with all the depth of their character thanks to their solid construction — no laminates here! Modern players looking for a definitive bluegrass instrument will find it right here in the Epiphone F-5G.
