- Open Pore Vintage Sunburst
Ibanez built the M510EOVS as an A-style acoustic-electric mandolin, finished in Open Pore Vintage Sunburst. It sat within Ibanez's entry-to-mid-level mandolin range, offering an electrified instrument for players who needed to amplify in live settings without departing from a traditional A-style platform.
The body pairs a spruce top braced in an X pattern with sapele back and sides, all finished in an open-pore treatment on this OVS variant rather than a full gloss. The neck is okoume, meeting a purpleheart fretboard across 20 frets with a flat radius and a 30mm nut width. Scale length runs 350mm. The bridge and saddle are also purpleheart, and ivory body binding trims the body perimeter. A magnetic single pickup routes signal to a 1/4" output jack. Chrome mandolin tuners handle the eight bronze strings, with 10mm string spacing at the bridge. Neck dimensions measure 22mm thickness at the first fret, deepening to 24.5mm at the seventh.
Owners sourcing replacement parts — saddle blanks, tuner buttons, nut stock, or pickup components — should bring the instrument's measurements to a qualified luthier or guitar technician, who can confirm compatibility before any parts are ordered or fitted.
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.
