Overview

A hand-crafted, vintage-inspired mandolin with exceptional resonance and balanced tone.

The Epiphone F-5G mandolin offers you a chance to own a faithful recreation of the iconic F-5 style made famous by Lloyd Loar in the early 1920s. Epiphone collaborated with the Gibson Custom Shop to craft this exceptional instrument that stays true to the original design. It features all-solid wood construction with a figured maple back and sides and a Sitka spruce top to produce a balanced, resonant tone perfect for any genre.

Play Authentic Vintage Style

The F-5G's scroll-shaped headstock, pearloid tuner buttons and sunburst finish give it a classic look that mandolin players adore. Its maple neck has an ebony fingerboard with a compound radius for smooth playability. The three-ply binding and mother-of-pearl inlays add ornate touches, allowing you to channel the style of early 20th century mandolinists.

Comfortable Playability Meets Modern Versatility

While the Epiphone F-5G mandolin conjures the Golden Era of acoustic instruments, it also provides modern playability. The maple neck has an easy-playing ebony fingerboard with a compound 10" to 12" radius. The slim, rounded neck profile lets you play rhythm chops and single-note runs with equal comfort. The F-5G mandolin pairs well with any genre from folk and country to rock and jazz. Its exceptional tone and versatility will inspire you to try new styles and push your playing to new heights.

Shape Your Tone

The F-5G's F-holes, figured maple back and sides and spruce top provide an acoustic voice with clarity, depth and projection. Play rhythmic chops, lead lines or anything in between—this mandolin has the dynamic range and tonal palette to handle it all.

Built to Last

Epiphone collaborated with the luthiers at Gibson Custom Shop to ensure this F-5G meets their high standards for craftsmanship and quality. Its all-solid woods and durable construction give it the stability and longevity that serious mandolin players demand from their instruments. The F-5G is designed to provide you with an inspiring playing experience for years to come. Plus, it comes with a vintage-style rectangular hardshell case.

Experience the mandolin that shaped musical genres. The Epiphone F-5G F-Style mandolin brings you the iconic design, tone and vibe of an American classic. Play authentic vintage style with the modern features you need to sound your best.
