Description

Washburn built the M3SWK-U as part of its Americana Mandolins series, positioning it as an F-style mandolin with a carved solid Sitka spruce top and flamed maple back and sides. The model shipped with a case (MC92).

The carved solid Sitka spruce top and flamed maple back and sides are the defining construction points of this instrument. A rosewood fingerboard completes the playing surface. The F-style body features f-holes. The sunburst finish was the designated color for this SKU.

Owners sourcing replacement parts — including tuning machines, bridges, nut blanks, or fingerboard components — should consult a qualified luthier or experienced instrument technician familiar with F-style mandolin construction to confirm fit and compatibility before installation.

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.

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.
