  • Make/Model: Washburn M226SWK Mandola
  • Serial Number: 14010020
  • Location of Manufacture: China
  • Scale Length:  17"
  • Nut Width:  1-3/16"
  • Weight: 2.2 lbs
  • Finish Color: Vintage Natural
  • Top Wood: Solid Spruce
  • Side Wood: Flame Maple
  • Back Wood: Flame Maple
  • Neck Wood: Flame Maple
  • Fingerboard Wood: Rosewood
  • Case: Original hardshell case in good shape.
  • Condition:  This mandolin is in good shape.  The factory finish ("vintage natural") gives the mandolin a warm, vintage look -- but one of the previous owners took is a bit farther!  Most noticeably, the "rope" style binding on the back has been replaced with a multi-ply black binding, and as a result there's some blemishes in the finish around the sides & back (see pics).  I'm not sure if the tailpiece came from Washburn with the scratches, but it really lends to the overall "road worn" look!  A few minor dings, pick scratches and finish clouding here and there throughout.
  • There is a repaired top crack, as well as a minor hairline crack in the bridge, but structural integrity doesn't appear to be compromised by either.  This mandola really sounds good, and projects like a champ!  The neck feels great in my hands, and with nice & low action this is a breeze to play!  The frets look a little flat, but no intonation or playability issues: every note fret cleanly all the way up the neck!  Everything pictured is ready to be professionally packed and shipped.
  • Comments: This is such a sweet sounding mandola, I have a hard time setting it down long enough to describe it.  Tuned a fifth lower than a mandolin, it gives a whole new sound to all your mandolin songs.  And my personal favorite aspect: the frets are a bit easier to play with my clumsy fingers than they are on a normal mandolin.  It's got tons of character which really lend itself an extra spoonful of vintage mojo!
