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.
