Washburn built the M1SDLTBL-A-U as part of its Americana Series, positioning it as an A-style mandolin with an oval sound hole. Washburn had been producing mandolins since the late 1800s, and this model sat within a line intended to serve players across bluegrass, Celtic, and related styles.
The instrument features a solid carved European Spruce top paired with maple back and sides, braced with quarter-sawn Sitka Spruce. The maple neck carries 20 frets with dot inlays, an ABS nut at 1-1/8" width, and a scale length of 13-3/4". Hardware throughout is gold, including gold diecast tuners with pearloid buttons. The bridge is listed as an alternative style. The nut and rosette are ABS. Strings were fitted from the factory with D'Addario J73 light-gauge mandolin strings. The body is finished in a trans-blue gloss.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — including bridge saddles, tuner buttons, or nut blanks — should take the listed dimensions and hardware specifications to a qualified luthier or instrument technician for accurate fit guidance.
STRAIGHT TALK
What Stands Out
Keep In Mind
From the people who own them
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.
Owner photos
Put yours on the record.
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.
What do you know about this one?
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.
