Ortega RMFE40SBK

There might be some good materials in this mandolin... But the way it came it was pretty much a disaster. The action so bad (unplayable above the 10th) that the truss rod wasn't enough and i had to remove about 1cm of material from the bridge. I still have to remove some from the nut. There are a couple of dead frets. There is about two meters of cable in the thing, which makes a lot of noise when moving and puts a lot of stress on the soldering. The paint is messy and missing in some places. The piezo was put in the bridge in a way that would strain/damage the mandolin and element, so i had to add some wood there. So if you want a fixer-up and aren't afraid to really mess with and take files and knives to the thing, go and buy it. If you want a playable instrument, then do not buy this mandolin.
