Europe Mandola M1088-P : ok, not great

2 years ago

Bad:

- action was unplayable as shipped

- pickup only works if I don't have my cable plugged in all the way

- tuners aren't very good. they work, but only barely.

Good:

- the woodworking part is all good

- finish is ok

- sounds good

I chose to tune mine to DAEB. I like this thing as an alternative to a second guitar. In a band context, it covers the upper range of a guitar and doesn't conflict with a bass.

Expect to have to put work and/or money into it to make it usable. I would say it's a good value only if you're able to do the work yourself.
