Product Rating
This mandolin seems to be made very well. The cosmetic flaws look more like it was used instead of new. The hard case that came with it is very impressive.
Only had it for 3 weeks, but stays in tune well while played and while being stored.
Your general opinion of this product.
Overall I am pleased with this mandolin. The finish was chipped on the back and there were some light scratches on the face guard. It looks like a demo model.
After playing around on it for awhile to help break the strings in, it does good. The neck seems to be a little narrow, not easy for thick fingers.
The tone is warm and mellow, but not too mellow. I like it.
I wasn't impressed with the finish. It was chipped on the back and had obviously been played a bit before I purchased it.
The strings needed breaking in and retuned to standard.
