Love it!
I have been a guitar and violin player for over 30 years. I have never owned a mandolin prior to this. The mandolin seemed like the perfect instrument for me since it is tuned like a violin, buy played with a pick like a guitar.
I researched online and saw this instrument was great plugged in, which I would be needing for band situations.
It is fairly expensive for a first instrument, but I wanted to get it right the first time, not buy a cheap one, then wish I had a better one. This is perfect. You won't need another one. I purchased this one used.
I had this mandolin set up by my local guitar people as the action was a bit high. I am reading that the newer models have adjustable bridges. This would have been nice, but as long as you can get someone to professionally set it up, you'll be okay.
The mandolin sounds great unplugged or plugged in. The action is perfect, and it is a joy to play. I have not had this much enthusiasm for a new instrument in forever.
