The conversation about iconic bluegrass instruments is not complete without the Lloyd Loar-signed Gibson F-5 mandolin and the rare Gibson RB-Granada Mastertone five-string banjo used by Earl Scruggs to define the sound of the genre. For over 150 years, Epiphone has been a leading innovator in instrument design.
