The maple neck is joined to a beautiful slab of basswood that’s finished in a mellow sunburst capped off with binding on both front and back which gives it a vintage guitar vibe. ## Features - Maple Neck - Solid Basswood Body - High Gloss Finish - 4 bolt neck joint - Free $35 value lesson!

Easy to use our familiar stomp boxes and tone shaping tools to get a decidedly non-acoustic result. Do a little browsing on Youtube using mandocaster as a search term and you will get the idea.Finish on this instrument is decent. Good at first sight, but the back will mark and scratch very easily. Build quality is better than many other Chinese instruments. Just needed a tuning out of the box and was playable within a few minutes without any major intervention. Too many first experiences are ruined by instruments that are shipped from the factory badly-adjusted. They instantly garner a mediocre reputation, but the initial set-up on this one was fine for the casual player.On the positive side, the tuners are the ever familiar grover-clones with a screw tab at 5 or 7 o'clock that will be easy to replace or upgrade. Individual tension can be changed by playing with the philips screw holding the keywind. The instrument holds its tune fairly well and the neck is straight. Rare features in an entry-level mandolin are an adjustable truss rod and individual saddles adjustable for intonation and height. The neck is bolt-on, so it should be really easy to change the neck angle if that's what you want. The pickups are single coil and can be noisy if you have certain electronic equipment in the room, such as light dimmers, that create a high-frequency buzz.That having been said, the saddles are a touch too wide making the strings almost fall off the fingerboard on the highest frets. Overall span of strings at the bridge is about 1/8 inch wider than standard. It's going to be relatively simple to file the sides down a bit, but no doubt that will void the warranty, and I would expect better in this price range. All-in-all, I will put in about an hour of work and get the width right, then the height an intonation exactly to my liking, which is not always possible in a mandolin.The volume and tone controls work well, but the volume is almost free-floating while the tone has a lot of drag in it. Cheapens the feel of the whole instrument needlessly over two or three dollars worth of pots. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars i was so happy with the quality of that one that i felt ... *by R***U on Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2014* Prior to buying this, I had already purchased another Morgan Monroe mandolin. i was so happy with the quality of that one that i felt comfortable with making this purchase. I am completely satisfied with this purchase as well. Morgan Monroe makes some good stuff. I did have to make some minor adjustments on the intonation. I only needed a Philips head screwdriver to do it. After that, it was perfect. it played nice and had no buzz before or after my adjustments.I ran this through my guitar effects processor and it sounded great. i was wailing some lead guitar sounding riffs on it and it was cool. it is a very solid piece of equipment too. Also, the finish was very nice.Strings for this are a bit harder to find because this requires steel strings with a ball end. Most mandolin strings are loop end. So pay attention to that when you want to buy replacement stings for it.I give this a 5 even though I had to adjust the intonation. you have to do that sometimes when you buy an instrument. It is easy to do on this as well as most electric guitars. A mandolin player should learn how to make some adjustments in intonation anyway because most mandolins have moveable bridges. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars GARBAGE *by Y***D on Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2015* Absolute junk at an outrageous price.
