Product Description
The Ibanez M510E-DVS is a traditional A-style electro acoustic mandolin that brings together classic looks, a warm, articulate voice and reliable stage-ready electronics. With its spruce top, mahogany back and sides and Dark Violin Sunburst finish, it is a fantastic choice for players who want a compact, characterful instrument that feels at home in folk, bluegrass, country and beyond.
Equipped with a magnetic pickup, the M510E-DVS is ready to plug in for live performance or recording, delivering a clear, focused amplified sound that cuts through a mix without losing the natural charm of the mandolin. A comfortable okoume neck and smooth purpleheart fingerboard make it easy to play, whether you are comping chords, picking melodies or exploring fast, intricate lines.
The combination of a spruce top and mahogany body gives this mandolin a pleasing balance of brightness and warmth. Spruce adds crisp attack and clarity, helping every note speak clearly, while mahogany back and sides contribute a rounded, woody character that keeps the tone musical and controlled. The result is a voice that sits beautifully in an ensemble and responds well to both gentle and more aggressive playing styles.
Finished in a gloss Dark Violin Sunburst, the M510E-DVS has a timeless aesthetic that looks as good under stage lights as it does in the living room. Chrome hardware and neat white dot inlays complete the look, while the compact A-style body keeps things lightweight and easy to handle for long rehearsals or gigs.
Electro Acoustic Flexibility
The built-in magnetic pickup lets you plug straight into an amp, PA or audio interface for a consistent, feedback-resistant sound. This makes the M510E-DVS ideal for live use and recording, giving you dependable volume and clarity without the need for external microphones.
Comfortable Neck and Playability
An okoume neck paired with a purpleheart fingerboard offers a smooth, comfortable playing surface. The 350 mm scale length and 20 frets provide plenty of room for both chord work and melodic playing, helping you play longer with less fatigue.
Classic Spruce and Mahogany Tone
A spruce top delivers bright, articulate attack, while mahogany back and sides add warmth and depth. This classic tonewood pairing gives the M510E-DVS a clear yet rounded voice that works well in a wide range of acoustic styles.
Elegant Dark Violin Sunburst Finish
The Dark Violin Sunburst finish and gloss polyurethane coating give the mandolin a refined, traditional appearance. It looks sophisticated on stage and in the studio, with chrome hardware and simple white dot inlays adding a clean, understated touch.
Features
- Traditional A-style Body - The compact A-style body shape offers a familiar feel and balanced acoustic response, making it a great fit for folk, bluegrass and acoustic ensembles where clarity and projection are essential.
- Built-in Magnetic Pickup - An onboard magnetic pickup provides a reliable amplified sound that is easy to control on stage or in the studio, so you can be heard clearly without sacrificing the natural character of the instrument.
