Great looking mandolin

Great looking but mandolin very hard to keep in tune

I like it, but.....

I love playing the instrument, but there was a few things I wasn't happy with.

It's great to play, and I love it, but, when I first tuned it one of the strings wasn't in the right part of the bridge and I had to move it a little up to get it in the right place. No big deal really.

Secondly, this is the thing that annoys me, the pick up is terrible. It's so quiet I can barely hear it. I going to have to buy a new pick up, which is a shame.

The price is good, so I get what I pay for, but it would have been nice to have a better pick up.

passable, lacks QC

It is a mandolin, it has strings, it can be tuned and set up, however the fit and finish was poor, the bridge needed a lot of additional setup (which should've beend done by manufacturers with proper tools), the finish was lacking, with paint missing in many spots, assuming laziness in painting the instrument.
