Professional mandolinists are all too familiar with Washburn F-style mandolins. Founded in 1883, Washburn's dedication to high quality craftsmanship has made them a legendary name in the music community and their F-style mandolins are highly regarded for their unique look and brilliant tone. This catalog of Washburn's F-style mandolins includes acoustic and acoustic-electric models that would make any serious bluegrass, folk or country musician excited to showcase their chops for a crowd.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a mandolinist who doesn't know about Jethro Burns. His influence on bluegrass musicians spans countless generations, and the M6 SW Jethro Burns F-Style Mandolin is a painstaking re-creation of his famous instrument. Elegant appointments include rope purfling, ornate pearl inlays, pearloid tuners and gold hardware. Simply put, this mandolin is perfect for any musician who wants a similar sound to a country music icon.
Another mandolin that deserves your attention is the M118 SW F-Style Mandolin. A simple glance at this mandolin is enough to realize that it was built with passion. But wait until you hear its tone: bright, balanced and powerful, the M118's punchy attack is the result of a carved solid spruce top, book matched carved solid flame maple back and sides, wider nut and string spacing, and a maple neck. Whether you're a bluegrass barn burner or an Irish dance-hall shaker, this mandolin will be sure to keep the party alive.
Although the right Washburn F-style mandolin for you will depend on your budget, personal tastes and if you need to be amplified, you owe it to yourself to give each mandolin in this section a closer look. After all, we're talking about Washburn F-style mandolins here... instruments that have been responsible for ceilidhs and hoe-downs since the 1800s.
