I think most of the reviews on this little baby are about right. It's a good starter instrument and excellent value for money. The playing action is adjustable at the bridge and anyway is pretty good but you do need reasonable finger strength for some first fret chords. The intonation is pretty good too. Finish-wise it looks reasonably good, although on mine there is a slight defect in the varnish on the headstock, only noticeable up close. I'm not fussed as I expect it to pick up a few more battle scars along the way. I agree the pickup is a bit basic but it works fine and adds a nice ability to go toe to toe with the banjos and violins if you want. I may well change out the strings as suggested by others, not least as one of the D strings rings a little bit deader than the other, and if anything I'd like a little more robustness to the tone of the lower strings. I assume the nut is not high quality too, looks like it's plastic, so maybe I'll swop that out one day too, which is normally a simple 5 minute job and can transform the sound. As always with new strings, they go flat as they stretch out but the usual trick of over-tuning by a semitone and leaving it for a while sorted that out. The tuners feel a teeny bit loose but seem to be doing the job well and I expect no trouble there. Above all this instrument makes playing the mandolin fun from the first go. It's the second Stagg instrument I have bought, the other being a child's guitar, and so far I have to say I would recommend them for anyone looking for something on a budget but which is reasonably playable and sounds in tune. Update: I corrected myself in that the bridge is indeed adjustable, apologies for my earlier error which I have taken out of the review. I can also confirm that the tuning has settled down well, as expected. Still happy with it.

Ho acquistato questo mandolino elettrico in Amazon Warehouse Deals, e devo dire che per il prezzo sono ampiamente soddisfatta. Di certo non è uno strumento di fascia alta, dunque ha qualche normale pecca tecnico/armonica, ma nel complesso è innanzitutto esteticamente sufficientemente rifinito ed è fornito di cavo per essere attaccato all'ampli. La Stagg è una casa produttrice di strumenti di un certo rispetto dunque speravo in un minimo di qualità anche se si tratta di un mandolino economico per principianti, e sono soddisfatta della scelta, tutto considerato. Le corde sono un pochino ossidate, ma facilmente reperibili per un cambio, nel complesso però lo strumento non ha un graffio ed è arrivato puntuale, dunque ne consiglio l'acquisto comunque. Sul sito del produttore/venditore ufficiale sono reperibili tutti i ricambi e su youtube si possono vedere interessanti tutorial di professionisti che lo suonano e recensiscono, per cui ci si può documentare bene anche se non esperti.

Super Anfängermandoline: Verarbeitung und Klang überzeugen! Allerdings sollte man einen Satz Saiten auf Lager haben, da die Aufgezogenen von dürftiger Qualität zu sein scheinen. Empfehlenswertes Instrument!

I have owned the mandolin for about a week or so. I think like a great number of people that have left reviews concerning this mandolin, they are guitar players, who have wanted to try a reasonably priced instrument so that if it doesn't suit them then they haven't lost much. I bought the mandolin, the gig bag and the tuner, for a real rock bottom price of approximately £110.00 - £115.00. So after unpacking, which in itself was impressive, I tried tuning the strings which the first time was a bit daunting! However, like all things, the more you do this, the easier it becomes. After it was in tune, 'and quickly out of tune', I tried a few 2 finger chords. The truth was, although the sound was good, the action was high. However, by sanding down part of the bridge, I have improved the action a lot. So at the moment, I am trying to work thru, 'losing my religion', it plays well, certainly for a so called budget buy. Would I recommend it? Most definately. It is solid, has a lovely tone and with a bit of sanding on the bridge, it will improve the experience. That said, I haven't tried it through the amp, but so long as it is what I could expect from reading the other reviews, 'which I am sure it will be', it should be fine. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to play a mandolin, but am not keen on spending loads of money to find out, go for this instrument, as it is a good place to start. Hope my review helps you.
