"Well worth the money!"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This mandolin will always be in my collection.
Sound
Just short of the typical rich mandolin tone. I experimented by removing the pick-up and wiring and the tone improved a great deal.
Quality
This mandolin is well built. All the seams along the binding were smooth as can be. The quality was even superior to that of my $700 Kentucky Mandolin. The overall finish was like glass.
Value
Oh yeah!
