"Good looks,Great sound.GREAT PRICE!!! Truly more for your money!!"

Feature:
Made with all solid woods,spruce top maple back and sides,with an ebony finger board.It`s hard to find this kind of quality in this price range mandolin.

Quality:
I don`t see anything that would lead me to beleive it want hold up.I take mine everywhere I go including offshore on a drilling rig where I work.

Value:
This is the best mandolin I have found in it`s price range. I have looked at alot of them.

Desirability:
The good looks and solid construction first got my attention.

Sound:
THE sound is good,not as good as some of your more exspensive mandolins.This is as good as you get in this price range.

Support:
I bought mine on the internet.Good people to work with.

Overall:
This is exactlly what I wanted and will probably wear it out.Every mandolin player wants a F-5 Gibson!!!

"Not a professional instrument but a great starting point."

I purchased this instrument(6 mo. ago) for the value. It is hard to find a better looking and sounding instrument for the money. It has great playability and volume.
