It may be a little early to rate this instrument, since I only acquired it about two weeks ago. But I've played it at every opportunity, and have already used it in a gig. I am very happy with this mandolin. It isn't really a rock-bottom entry-level instrument, but it isn't a real high-end collector's item either. What it is is a well-made piece of work, with some things you won't find in the real rock-bottom instruments that are out there. It has solid top, back and sides, and adjustable truss rod, a radiused fretboard, and a burgundy finish that makes it a little different from all the blond and sunburst mandos out there. And it sounds great -- it's loud enough to be heard, and it stays in tune from one song to the next. I'm a novice as a mando player, but have played guitar for a number of years, and it's easy to tell this is a pretty nice instrument.
It was shipped with the strings loosened and the floating bridge not installed, so I had to set it up and tune it. But once I was done with that, it was ready to go. It comes without a case or gig bag, and without a strap, so those things needed to be purchased separately.
