A
Very Positive Experience
This is a beautiful instrument.
Aesthetically it is just fantastic, I have been gigging it now for six months and people go out of their way consistently to comment on how awesome it looks.
Sound-wise, plugged in it sounds amazing. Many sound engineers have commented on it since I bought as they are so un-used to hearing a mandolin DI-ed with such a high quality sound.
Acoustically it sounds very good but being an f hole mando it lacks some of the warmth and richness of an A hole. I have heard other mandolins that sound better acoustically. Plugged in, have never heard another mandolin that even comes close to this one.
The tuner is the handiest addition ever. Mandolins really are tricky little devils to keep in tune in general, and honestly I don't know how anyone could consistently gig a mandolin plugged in without a tuner.
Hardware is all gold and beautiful.. Gorgeous tuners..
To finish, I LOVE this instrument. Thank you Ortega, Thank you Thomann.

Beautiful sounding mandolin after a good setup
I bought this mandolin for playing with a country-bluegrass band. It really sounds great: loud, bright and resonant. The pickup and tuner do their job perfectly. Mine needed a good setup when I received though, there was an annoying metallic tail to the sound of the A string. I brought it for a professional setup and had the truss rod and bridge height adjusted. I also changed the strings to a .10 gauge which feels much better to me.
