The Ibanez M510E-DVS Dark Violin Sunburst High Gloss at a glance

The Ibanez M510E-DVS Dark Violin Sunburst High Gloss is excellent for beginners as well as advanced players. Built-in the traditional A-style, the mandolin produces a very bright and powerful sound that unfolds quickly thanks to its thin, laminated construction. In addition, the flat neck with an extremely obliging grip in all 20 frets guarantees. To optimize the instrument in its functionality, the manufacturer equips the M510E-DVS with a magnetic pickup that reproduces the acoustic sound even at high volumes, without annoying feedback.

Structure and woods

In order for the sound to develop powerfully even with light strokes, the instrument's construction consists of a spruce top and a body made of sapele. This combination enriches the mandolin with pronounced midrange and treble frequencies. At the same time, a combination of an okoume neck with Purpleheart fingerboard and a nut width of 30 mm promises the best possible playability in all registers.

Design and hardware

The bridge of the instrument, like the fretboard, is made of Purpleheart and harmonizes perfectly with the finely notched plastic saddle. Thus, the instrument intonates cleanly and precisely over the entire scale length of 350 mm. In addition, chrome-plated open-gear tuners ensure easy tuning of the 8 strings. In addition to the characteristic F sound holes, the Ibanez M510E-DVS impresses with its traditional appearance, which is tastefully rounded off by a noble high-gloss varnish with brown-sunburst finish.
