The F5 Mandolin stands as the ultimate bluegrass mandolin, meticulously crafted to deliver the iconic tone demanded by the genre. This instrument offers plenty of volume, while maintaining a remarkably clear, mellow tone.

Crafted with highly figured maple throughout the back, sides, and neck which contributes significantly to the instrument's bright tone. For the belly, you have the choice of selecting either spruce, known for its powerful projection, or responsive cedar, which offers a quicker break-in period and a richer, warmer character. Crucially, both the back and top plates are expertly tuned using a graduated thicknessing method. This advanced lutherie technique ensures optimal vibration and tonal balance across the entire range, producing a professional-grade sound.
