THIS IS AN IBANEZ M522S-DVS F STYLE SOLID SPRUCE ARCH TOP MANDOLIN- Vintage Sunburst

Ibanez M522S F-Style Mandolin description

Ibanez mandolins are built with quality components and offer pro features & construction, without the high-end price tag. The Ibanez M522S mandolin is an F-style instrument with a spruce top, Maple body and Gold hardware.

Paired with the fine wood are high-end cosmetic appointments also found on Mandolins costing much more: an classic style headstock, Ibanez tuners and a Super Gloss finish. If you've been holding back on a Mandolin purchase because you haven't found the right features at the right price, your wait is over.

The sound of a driving mandolin solo brings to mind the Appalachians and the bittersweet melodies of generations past.

Ibanez offers its flagship M522S acoustic mandolin, an incredibly affordable F-style mandolin that delivers warm, rich sound.

This fancy 8-string bluegrass machine is an ideal instrument for its price, ready to hit up the jams right out of the box.

This beautiful F-style Ibanez mandolin starts with a solid spruce top and a flamed maple body for crisp, bold tones from top to bottom.

The maple neck and the solid wood bridge and fretboard offer lasting tone and sustain, while the gold/pearloid tuners keep the mandolin holding the notes in key.

With a high gloss finish, the wood's natural beauty shines through with a shimmering shine, while the gold hardware stands out in striking fashion.

This mandolin is a Factory 2nd (sold as used)

THIS MANDOLIN HAS BEEN SET UP BY ME AND PLAYS AND SOUNDS GREAT

My Factory 2nd's are a tremendous value. They are often sold at hundreds of dollars less than their 'new' counterparts. Factory 2nd's are deemed as such directly from the manufacturer and have never been previously sold in retail or distributed to a music store. They are marked as a 2nd by the manufacturer when they fail to pass final inspection. They usually have a minor cosmetic finishing flaw that prevents them from being sold as new instruments. These instruments do not have major flaws (UNLESS STATED). These blemishes do not affect the playability of the instruments at all. Apart from the defect listed they are perfect, all the electronics, pickups, tuners, neck and frets etc. are good. I buy my guitars and basses directly from the manufacturer. There is no manufactures warranty and sometimes it is difficult to identify why some of these guitars were marked as seconds. Each instrument gets set up and checked by me before it is released for sale. Some of the models are discontinued and have no issues at all. Instruments are stamped with an S on the back of the headstock.
