Selling this because it just doesn't see the action it deserves. Really cool antique/worn looking mandolin with a professionally, internally installed and set up LR Baggs Radius Transducer Pickup($149 upgrade). Pro quality instrument that sounds great mic'd, through an acoustic amp, or direct to a PA. Comes with the original hard shell case, brown leather strap, and 2 sets of D'addario strings. *stand in photo is not included. Light wear and was used in a couple of studios in Nashville and occasionally for a live show over the last couple of years. Just change the strings and she's ready to go! FROM WASHBURN: The M118SW is a Florentine style mandolin and features a worn/used look as well as aged hardware, ebonite tuner buttons 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 this fine instrument. The F-style body design on the M118SW is deeper than traditional instruments for more volume and projection and it has a wider nut, with wider string spacing to accommodate bigger fingers. Lyon & Healy, Washburn’s parent company in the 19th century, was the first American manufacturer of mandolins and Washburn began making mandolins in 1887. The M118SW echos the trends in mandolin styles of the early 20th century and remains the popular style today.
