Offered for sale is this incredibly rare and beautiful George Washburn F style mandolin, made in 1984. The exact model is M6-SW-SB "Jethro Burns".Connoisseurs of the mandolin will know that this is not one of the current Chinese made Washburns, it is one of the original handcrafted Jethro Burns models "hand crafted in the Washburn tradition of Chicago", and these only rarely come up for sale. Please note the rope design purfling which distinguishes these instruments.The instrument is in excellent playable condition and comes with its original hard-shell case with pink lining, also in great condition. The case is a work of art in itself!The instrument is in excellent cosmetic order with no scratches, dings or damage, just a little playing wear to the frets and with the patina appropriate to a vintage instrument (a little bloom in the varnish, and some yellowing to the celluloid/ivoroid binding). A most attractive instrument that sounds as good as it looks.I will be happy to answer any questions about this instrument - please ask. Free postage applies to U.K. and Rep of Ireland. International shipping will be under the terms of eBay's Global Shipping Program.• Thanks for looking - you probably won't see another like this for a very long time!
