F mandolins seem to take time to break in. Have mine for about a month and it is starting to bark. As I received it it needed a bit of adjusting. I changed the strings, adjusted the bridge. I also replaced the tailpiece for a very solid one, my own preference. The mandolin sounds as good or better than many $1000 ones.

The mandolin is solid, well built, case is nice. Good buy. I paid $140 for mine including shipping.

I've had this mandolin for a couple of months. It is perfect for what I need (I haven't been playing. For the price the quality is great. So, let's see.... bad things.

The finish around the neck is kind of shotty... kind of bothersome when I first got it but all and all I am not worries.
There is some minor buzz, but for learning I can stand it.

So, great for people just starting!

oh, and it does have a trussrod

This is a great instrument, for the price, if you just beginning to learn mandolin. I have been playing this mando for about 2 months now and haven't had a problems. It stays in tune, haven't found a missing note. Happy playing

This is a superb instrument though I found out I don't care much for F style mandolins. It did have a blob of the clear finishing material down inside the scroll thing on the body but since you can't see it why worry.

Mine came with a light and fairly nice but rather large, for my taste, squarish case. I remember being a little doubtful from reading the add as to whether I would actually get a case or not.

All things said-- This is a fine instrument.
