This is a high quality instrument in excellent condition, not a mark on it, with the notable exception of some discoloration around the logo / tuning pegs. The quality of the wood and the detailing is exquisite. Listing includes original hard case which shows some exterior wear.

Tacoma M-3 mandolins have been manufactured in Tacoma, Washington between 1998 and 2008. The M series mandolins from Tacoma are known for their unique offset soundholes and modified F-style shape. 

Specifications: 

  • Top: Solid spruce
  • Back and sides: Solid flamed maple
  • Neck: Curly maple with a radiused fingerboard and jumbo frets
  • Body and neck binding: Ivoroid
  • Fingerboard: Ebony with abalone dot inlay
  • Peghead: Ebony overlay

Design:

  • Modified F-style shape with single cutaway 
  • Uniquely shaped and placed offset sound holes in the upper bass bout 
  • Not a traditional "A" or "F" style, but rather Tacoma's own design 

We have had the instrument reviewed to confirm the quality and condition . The expert confirmed that the slight discoloration on the head does not effect the playability or value of this excellent instrument. The discoloration appears to be a defect in the lacquer.

NOTE: We have made several adjustments to this listing to reflect feedback and an expert examination of the instrument.
