Washburn's New Mandolins

Washburn's New Mandolins
For Washburn's 125th anniversary they are introducing two new vintage-styled mandolins. These mandolins feature a worn/used look as well as aged hardware and a thinner satin finish for a broken-in and well-played feel. Only premium woods like solid flamed maple and solid spruce have been used in crafting these instruments. Both feature aged hardware, ebonite tuner buttons, a hand-carved solid spruce top, and solid flamed maple sides and back. The M118SW is a Florentine-style mandolin. Retail price is $1,349.90. The M116SW is an A-style mandolin; retail price is $1,149.90.
