Washburn built the M118SWK-U as part of its Americana Series, positioning it as a vintage-styled F-style mandolin within that line. The model carried the series designation AMERICANA MANDOLINS VINTAGE, placing it among instruments intended to reference traditional mandolin construction.
The M118SWK-U featured a carved solid Sitka spruce top paired with flamed maple back and sides. The fingerboard was ebony. The F-style body employed f-holes consistent with that mandolin pattern. A hard case, the MC93, was included with the instrument.
Owners seeking setup adjustments, fret work, or period-correct replacement parts for the ebony fingerboard or flamed maple components should consult a qualified luthier familiar with carved-top mandolin construction.
Nothing in The Vault is for sale. These records exist so the instruments stay documented after the manufacturer moves on — and the most useful part of that record is what owners add to it.
The catalog shot showed one finish, under one light, a long time ago. Yours has been played. Photos from owners are what the next person finds when they are trying to identify a part, match a finish, or work out whether the one they just bought is really what the seller said it was.
Specs only go so far. What actually fits, what breaks first, what the factory got right and what everyone ends up changing — that lives with the people who own them, not in a datasheet. Post what you know and it stays on this page for whoever comes looking next.
