Well pleased but beware!
A well made instrument for the price. In the UK this mandolin is available under another brand for a lot more money. The 3 band EQ works well and the finish generally is very good. However the quality of the workmanship on the neck was poor; the frets required a dressing and were uneven in places to the point where the mandolin was only just playable. If you buy this mandolin then you should definitely allow for a set-up by a good luthier/guitar tech at a cost of about £35, change the strings as well at the same time. So overall worth buying but allow for some more cost to make it enjoyable to play.

nice
I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this instrument. All the important parts were good - intonation & tone. Unplugged, the sound is very mellow and the instrument has great resonance. Plugged in the sound is also good, the 3 band equaliser works well and having a decent active pickup in this price range is also pretty impressive. Some of the finishing isn't 100% but for the price I would tend to overlook this.

Very nice - my first mando
I'm no expert but this seems like a well-built instrument. I like the sound acoustically and plugged in. Adjusting the onboard EQ makes big tonal changes. A few minor finish details aren't perfect but at his price it's expected. I like it!
