It's part of Washburn's Americana Series — a line with genuine roots, since Washburn has been building mandolins since the late 1800s. The M1S keeps things traditional: an A-style body, a solid carved European spruce top, and maple back and sides. Whether you're working through your first Celtic tunes or looking for a player-grade instrument to grab and go, this one checks the important boxes without fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis Washburn M1S Americana A-Style Mandolin is in Very Good condition. The guitar is fully functional and will go through a full tech set up prior to shipping. It has a fine finish scratches from play. Please review the photos carefully for full condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSolid Carved Spruce Top — The Real Deal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M1S is fitted with a solid carved European spruce top — not a laminate, not a pressed arch. Spruce has long been the go-to tonewood for mandolins (and violins, and acoustic guitars) because of its stiffness-to-weight ratio and its ability to move air efficiently. The carved construction adds resonance you simply don't get from a flat or laminate top, giving this instrument a brighter, more responsive voice than its price point might suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaired with maple back and sides, you get the classic mandolin tonal combination: the spruce top supplies punch and projection, and the maple adds brightness and definition — making individual notes cut through clearly whether you're playing chop chords or single-string melody lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Play\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M1S keeps its hardware sensible: chrome die-cast tuners, a rosewood bridge, and chrome hardware throughout. The maple neck houses a 20-fret fingerboard with dot inlays and a 13-3\/4\" scale length — standard mandolin territory, comfortable for players coming from guitar or fiddle backgrounds alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gloss Tobacco Sunburst finish is classic Americana styling — understated, warm, and timelessly appropriate for the instrument. Traditional F-holes complete the look while contributing to the M1S's resonance and projection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e A-Style mandolin with traditional F-holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid carved European spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack \u0026amp; Sides:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlays:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chrome die-cast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gloss Tobacco Sunburst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Americana Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a used mandolin from our inventory.
