Washburn

collapse expand iconDescription

One of their more popular models, the Washburn M3SW Americana Series F-Style mandolin is an all-sold-wood instrument features a solid carved European spruce top with quartersawn Sitka spruce bracing paired with solid carved Canadian maple back and sides, and a maple neck topped with an ebony fingerboard. This tonewood combination gives it the perfect punctuation for any down-home number. The M3SW comes with a gloss finish with tobacco sunburst complemented by gold die-cast tuners with pearloid buttons for that real old-school vibe.

A hardshell case is included.

Washburn has been building mandolins since the late 1800s. Whether you’re a bluegrass, Celtic or rock player, see how the addition of a mandolin like the M3SW can broaden your sonic pallet and add a new dimension to your music. For traditionalists, you’ll find all the tone and projection you’d expect from their world-class instruments.

    I’m sorry, we don’t know what the blemish is. The blemishes will be perhaps minor scratches, average handling wear. There will be no effect on playability or sound
