Epiphone Mandobird Electric Mandolin Vintage Sunburst

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.

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.

Dial in just the right amount of saturation and tone to suit any genre from folk and Americana to rock and blues.

Comfortable Playability
