Washburn M108SWK Americana Series All Solid Carved Solid Sitka Top F-Style Mandolin w/Hardshell Case

Washburn Americana Series all-solid F-Style Mandolin with carved solid Sitka spruce top, and solid mahogany back and sides, 1-1/4″ bone nut, distressed satin finish. Hardshell case 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 can broaden your sonic pallet and add a new dimension to your music. For traditionalists, you’ll find all the tone & projection you’d expect from our world-class instruments.

The Florentine style body design on the M108SW is deeper than traditional instruments for more volume and projection and it has a wider nut, with wider string spacing to accommodate bigger fingers.
