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!!!

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.

Feature:
IT is made well with top materials

Quality:
I bought this mandolin as a blemished model on the internet but have found no real blemishes on it.IT`s solid it will last!

Value:
yes

Sound:
IT has a good clear sound but it is low on volume.Great finish and playability.

Support:
I have not had to deal with them after the sell,but they were great to deal with during the sell.

Overall:
I am well pleased with this mandolin for the price.The quality in which it was built,it looks great.The only down fall I have seen is it doesn`t have the volume I exspected.
