When i saw this and the price I thought I’d give it a try even if I only ended up with a wall decoration or toy for my girlfriends grandson. I didnt expect much but boy was i surprised. Fit and finish are superb. It comes with strings on but you have to mount the bridge and adjust placement for proper intonation. Plenty of you-tube videos to show you how to do it if you’re unfamiliar. Saddle is wood, nut plastic, case a cardboard box. Oval holes have a different sound than F and A styles, more sustain, some may describe as boomy although i dont think thats a fitting description. As with all new strings it takes a while for them to stretch and stay in tune. After that Ive had no problems with it drifting out of tune. The gloss black and gold hardware remind me of my Les Paul electric 6 string. I was expecting some set up but for now I’m perfectly happy. I would take this anywhere and not worry about leaving it in the car to , say, run in the store to pick up something where i wouldnt let my other mandolins out of my sight. Delivery was faster than projected. Oh…. Tuners are not the best but they get the job done and they look good. Had a slight rattle but tracked it down to a loose pick guard. Tightened a screw and rattle disappeared. I am very very satisfied with this product. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice A style oval hole mandolin *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2011* These Washburn mandolins are made in China like other inexpensive mandolin. However, the quality/bang-for-buck is all there. The mandolin I received required a bit of set up. I restrung it with a new set of GHS medium bronze strings. The bridge needed some adjustment to get it just right. Once the strings all settled in, the mandolin is fantastic. Great action, great sound. Oval hole mandolins sound a bit different from the A style f hole mandolins. It is also important to mute unplayed strings when playing certain riffs.Why get one of these import mandolins in favor of the $50 mandolins that are also out there?1) better build quality - the binding is straight and the finish is better applied as compared with those other cheaper imports. Better quality pickguard, bridge, and head.2) oval hole as opposed to f holes give different tonal dynamics. I prefer the Italian mandolin sound from this type of mandolin.3) truss rod for neck adjustments adds to better setup4) smoother functioning tuning pegs5) while the asian Washburns have come a long way from the Chicago Lyon and Healy Washburns, for me they still carry that intent and musical tradition from George Washburn. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing sound *by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2010* This was a beautiful looking instrument, but the sound was disappointing. It had a strange boom to it.I have a 30 year old cheap mando that sounded better. I sent the Washburn back. ## Frequently Bought Together - Washburn Americana M1SD, Mandolin - Planet Waves D'Addario Micro Clip-On Tuner for Guitars, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/178163586-americana-m1sd-mandolin](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/178163586-americana-m1sd-mandolin) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
