Washburn M3SWE Americana Series all-solid F-Style Mandolin, active electronics, transparent wine red finish. Hardshell case included.

The M3SWE is based on our popular M3SWK F-style mandolin but has added pickup and active electronics with bass, treble and volume controls. It also features a beautiful Trans Wine Red finish. Not only does it sound great acoustically but it’s the perfect stage performance mandolin.

Washburn has been building mandolins since the late 1800s. Whether you’re a bluegrass, Celtic or rock player, see how the addition of a mandolin can broaden your sonic pallet and add a new dimension to your music. For traditionalists, you’ll find all the tone & projection you’d expect from our world class instruments.

In 1930, Washburn merges with Tonk Brothers and releases the Solo Deluxe, the precursor of the auditorium style guitar and one of the best-selling guitars created.

AMPLIFIED AND ACOUSTIC

The Wing series continues the Washburn standard by delivering a show quality instrument at a home artist price.
