|
Add blugrass flavor to your songs! Epiphone's MM-50 mandolin celebrates parent company Gibson's heritage that began with Orville Gibson crafting fine acoustic guitars and mandolins in the late 1800s. The MM-50 is equipped with a gorgeous traditional-style scroll with a matching headstock adorned with a period-appropriate logo and inlay. A solid spruce top sits atop the maple body, and the set neck is also constructed from maple. This particular model is based on Lloyd Loar's (an early Gibson employee/luthier) 1922 F-5 mandolin. For an affordable mandolin that's steeped in history, check out the Epiphone MM-50! Epiphone MM-50 at a Glance:
