Spruce-topped mandolin has excellent sound projection





For optimal projection, the Washburn M108SW mandolin is fitted with a solid spruce top. Spruce has long been used in instruments, ranging from violins to guitars and mandolins, for its bright sound and great projection. An expertly fitted ebony bridge makes full contact with the carved spruce top to capture and transfer the string vibrations of every note you play on the Washburn M108SW mandolin.





Mahogany back and sides deliver classic mandolin tones





Mahogany gives the M108SW a warm, well-rounded tone. Not only does it look great but it adds a midrange tone and volume that other woods don't. The Washburn M108SW mandolin sports a solid mahogany back and sides to deliver outstanding acoustic tones.
