Traditionalists as well as newbies have come to make the M522 one of the best-selling mandolins in the Ibanez line. With its classic f-hole style and solid Sitka spruce top, the M522 delivers sound character reminiscent of the instrument's legends (heck, Bill Monroe was an Ibanez artist back in the 1980s!)

"I love this Instrument!"

Not much of a Mandolin player when i got the wild hair up my fanny to try something new. After researching a lot and consulting my ever shrinking budget I settled on this Mandolin. I am not sorry I did either. The Instrument is beautiful and it has a great (to me) Sound. It feels good in the hands and has a very fast action. If you are looking for an instrument that won't cost you thousands, then I recommend this one to learn on, then you can always upgrade down the road...
Musical Background:

Musical Style:
