The Korena take
Built around the classic F-style outline, the F-5 Studio pairs a solid Sitka spruce top with solid maple back and sides in a satin Vintage Sunburst finish. Its acoustic voice is described as full, balanced, crisp, and clearly projected. The maple C-profile neck, laurel fingerboard, 20 frets, and adjustable compensated bridge make it a straightforward acoustic mandolin for chord work and single-note passages. A gig bag is supplied for transport.
