The Epiphone Mandobird mandolin merges a mandolin's warm, earthy tone with the power and flexibility of an electric instrument. Designed for mandolinists seeking a blend of vintage and modern, this hybrid beauty gives you excellent resonance and electric punch. Its solid nato body and bolt-on mahogany neck produce a full, balanced tone with clear treble and rich bass. The Epiphone Firebird humbucker pickup harnesses the natural resonance of the Mandobird and channels it through a premium humbucker, empowering you to mold your tone from bright and articulate to rich and full-bodied.

Vintage Looks, Modern Sound

With its classic Reverse Firebird-inspired body and vintage sunburst finish, the Mandobird has a stylish appearance, yet its pickup and controls unlock a wider range of tones than an acoustic mandolin can produce. The humbcuking pickup accurately represents the Mandobird's solidbody tone, from mellow and jazzy to bright and punchy. Dial in just the right amount of saturation and tone to suit any genre from folk and Americana to rock and blues.

Comfortable Playability

The Mandobird's bolt-on mahogany neck and laurel fingerboard have a profile and scale length familiar to mandolin players. Trapezoid inlays guide your fingers to the right frets with ease. Four Grover Rotomatic tuners make quick work of tuning while holding tension securely. From its sturdy bolt-on neck joint to its adjustable bridge, the Mandobird is made for the stage. A string-through-body bridge provides rock-solid intonation and sustain. Smooth, responsive action makes navigating complex chords and melodic lines effortless.

Take Your Place Onstage

With its Epiphone Firebird humbucking pickup, the Mandobird is ready to take the stage. Plug into your favorite amplifier or PA system for a sound suitable for any venue. Onstage or in the studio, the Mandobird allows you to hold your own in a mix with a resonant, punchy tone and the ability to cut through when needed. For mandolin players looking to expand beyond the limits of an acoustic instrument, the Epiphone Mandobird is your ticket to center stage.

Find Your Sound

The Epiphone Mandobird gives mandolinists and guitarists a bold new voice to explore. Its familiar shape and construction provide a seamless transition between instruments, while its pickup lets your creativity run wild. When it's time to take your music on the road, a padded gig bag protects your Mandobird while keeping it close at hand. For players seeking fresh inspiration or just wanting to stand out from the crowd, the innovative Epiphone Mandobird could be the spark that ignites your musical imagination.
