Ibanez M510E

The Ibanez M510E is an A-style acoustic-electric mandolin designed to deliver the bright, focused and articulate response associated with the traditional mandolin. It features a Spruce top with Sapele back and sides, providing a balanced combination of projection, clarity and warmth. Its compact A-style body makes it suitable for bluegrass, folk, country, acoustic ensembles, melody playing and chordal accompaniment. (Ibanez)

The M510E features an M Okoume neck with a Purpleheart fretboard and bridge. Its 350mm scale length, 30mm nut width, flat-radius fretboard and 10mm string spacing provide the compact playing geometry expected from a mandolin. The 20-fret layout offers sufficient range for lead melodies, tremolo techniques and chord work, while the traditional E-A-D-G tuning keeps it suited to standard mandolin playing. (Ibanez)

For amplified performance, the M510E is equipped with a magnetic single pickup and a 1/4-inch output. The pickup system provides a direct amplified signal while retaining the instrument's compact acoustic-electric format. Chrome Mandolin tuners, White Dot inlays and the available Brown Sunburst High Gloss, Dark Violin Sunburst High Gloss and Open Pore Vintage Sunburst finishes complete its traditional appearance.
