Nice Mandolin

| Review By: candle2397 | 3 months, 1 week ago

Features:

Has all the features that I wanted.  The electric sounds rich and loud, not twangy like some electric mandolins.  The only thing I'd like to see is a built-in tuner for the price it cost.  There's always something we want...  Also the acsetics is really top notch, very well made.

Quality:

It's sound, and very well made.  The case is as beautiful as the mandolin.

Value:

The price fits the value. 

Overall:

I've really enjoyed this Washburn Mandolin.  It's got the best electric sound I've heard on a mandolin; it was just what I was looking for.    The case is really nice too.   I didn't like the strings that came with it, because they are medium and with my arthritis it hurts my thumb.  Over all, it is an excellent Mandolin, good sound both plugged and unplugged, looks great, and certainly measures up to my expectations!

Overall:
I had been working with playing mandolin for about two years. I already had a Rogue, which was adequate I suppose. But I wanted something more top of the line. The case alone was worth the wait, with a molded interior, a small blanket for the headstock, and a roomy inner compartment. The instrument itself was gorgeous! Much prettier than the picture on the website. It needed very minimum setup, as I took it to the local technician who only tweaked the bridge a tad and carefully filed out a couple of the string channels. The sound through an amp is clean as a whistle, with a very powerful pre-amp. You may have to cut the volume some. Playability is great, with wonderful intonation. All-in-all a great mandolin at a great price!
