Query: Pretty solid instrument

I was slightly concerned purchasing an instrument in this price range but I went out on a limb because of the stellar reviews. My mandolin came on time and was packaged well. First off, your going to need to restring it. I felt that the factory strings were to heavy and dead. I swapped for a set of 38s and it sings now. Also, plan on doing some bridge adjustments as it will probably be out of whack. The bottom line is once I got the new strings and set this baby up she plays beautifully. Can't beat it for the price.
