I got this as an "open box" for like 60% off. I paid 65 bucks. At that price I am absolutely happy.Came with a little nick on the headstock. No biggy.It sounds pretty nice out of the box. Like ANY archtop instrument, you need to set the bridge to the proper intonation and your action preference. Takes 5 minutes. Stop whining.There is actually quite a bit of fret sprout/sharp frets.... but you don't feel that when you play mandolin. I play guitar... I feel like on a mandolin, the neck is too small to even contact your hands. If it matter to you, file the down.Honestly, for the price I paid, I am super pleased. If I paid full price, maybe I'd expect a little better fretwork.The fretboard came covered in light mold, which I took off with some steel wool. This came as a returned item from Amazon Warehouse. I will blame it on the conditions it was stored in, and not blame the factory.Also... the finish on the gold burst is actually really nice. It seems pretty loud and harsh in the pictures. In hand it is a sunburst.I want to say that the tuners totally suck... BUT... as u have tuned and u tuned and returned and played down-tunings... I think what I'm fighting is the factory string windings. The strings slip and stretch bc they have so many windings around the peg post. I am really feeling, that's the issue, a d not actually rhe tuners themselves

I brought this mandolin to a luthier to have the bridges lowered and the tail buzz worked on. Now I can use 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.

Good: cheap and a good practice mandolin you can travel with.Bad: Tuners are sloppy, Horrible pickup needing a LOT of gain to get any sound with constant loud buzzing and noisy knobs.If you need a cheap mandolin, save some money and get the acoustic only version.

I understand that with this new, or any new stringed wooden instrument-playing it daily- you need to tune the strings. The strings need time to stretch. It gets better each day. I’m beginning to feel this instrument, it’s quirks.Maybe it’s learning mine. But I can’t say how much I’m enjoying this mandolin. I bought a violin several months ago but felt frustrated learning it. So I decided to get this mandolin because the open strings are the same as a violin. I’ve learned some pick songs on mandolin - and wow! I can play the same songs on the violin! Nice! I say get this mandolin. Learn a few scales. Learn a few songs. Let your finger tips build up a callous through daily playing. But if you just want to sound good right out of the box and have some fun-tune the open mandolin strings to AEAE. Normal open strings are GDAE. I really like this mandolin!

I have several musical instruments and always try to buy the lower end in cost ones, 100-200 range. You can tell a wide difference between this mandolin and other instruments i've gotten in the same general price, much more care and fancier gear went into it. My only complaint is it should have come with some kind of strap and the special picks it needs, since both are needed to play it properly, but i was able to repurpose a banjo strap and use guitar picks for it temporarily.

Il primo Stagg M-30 mi è stato recapitato praticamente rotto, il ponte era spezzato compromettendo di fatto tutto lo strumento, tuttavia l'ottimo servizio sostitutivo mi ha permesso di restituirlo il giorno seguente e riceverne uno nuovo entro pochi giorni senza costi aggiuntivi.A distanza di qualche settimana posso affermare come il rapporto qualità/prezzo si sia rivelato estremamente positivo, con il passare dei giorni la tensione delle corde è diminuita e la suonabilità è migliorata, ovviamente parliamo pur sempre di uno strumento economico adatto a principianti.Unica cosa, il ponte ad arco è mobile, quando arriva dovete regolarlo, non solo in altezza, ma anche spostandolo sopra e sotto oppure non vi troverete mai con la corrispondenza delle ottave.

Beautiful instrument for the price. Downside, can't get it to tune, even bought the little auto tuner but it isn't working either. I really didn't want to have to find someone to tune it professionally and have to pay that money. I also read on reviews that the strings that come with this are not that great and hard to or do not hold tune long. I will probably be out $$ to have it restrung and tuned. It should already have the "good" strings on when you buy it!

Vamos a analizar la mandolina:PROS:Desde mi punto de vista es muy bonita, una mezcla entre estilo clásico y moderno (no quería las típicas F). Los acabados son medio decentes, el tono rojizo es más bonito que el amarillo. Stagg es más conocida que una marca China, luego sin ser la panacea será más fácil de vender cuando necesites una más avanzada.CONTRAS:Cuando la afinas la acción en los primeros trastes son muy duros, luego hay que bajarla, la cejuela viene pegada (y es plástico) luego hay que usar lima de huecos de cejuela. El puente hay que modificarlo elevando las dos cuartas cuerdas por encima del resto (con su rueda). De la cejuela al traste 12 hay 17.50 cm y de este al puente podemos dejar 17 cm ya que a 17.50 cm cerdea algo. Luego tras los ajustes se convierte en algo muy tocable (sin los ajustes es bastante dura).RESUMEN: si realizas los ajustes adecuados suena bien, teniendo en cuenta que es laminada y no maciza. Relación calidad-precio tras los ajustes buena. Dejo fotos de los ajustes, por si os sirve de algo.

Whoa, this baby is gorgeous! We were planning to polish it up when we got it. It looks kind of lax luster in the pics. Not so, the pics don't do it any justice because it is extremely high gloss. Seriously this baby is very pretty. I would venture to say it's one of the cleanest looking and sounding Mandolins out there. To us, it's the best! Now, what's she sound like, superb! Hooked to an Amp or not. Easy to tune and then play away. There's nothing to knock on this Stagg Mandolin. Strings are great for now. Will upscale later on though. Oh, thank you folks for getting her to us in such a jiffy. Much appreciated indeed. Two days to our door, that's service with a bang! We call her Ruby. All of our instruments have names. We have a Washburn guitar we named Geronimo, just saying, lol. Happy trails to you.

With so many negative reviews of the low-end mandolins on Amazon and the posts on mandolin forums suggesting that most low-end mandolins be avoided, I gambled on Stagg providing a good quality instrument. I've got 15 years experience as a musician, 8 of which are specifically with guitars.Let me tell you, I'm glad I took a chance on this. As long as you go into this purchase expecting a decent instrument that is sufficient for learning on and potentially recording in a home studio, you won't be disappointed.I was lucky and my mandolin arrived with the bridge properly set up and the strings properly loosened for transit. The mandolin stays in tune and sounds great. No damage or problems at all!

Bin wirklich sehr zufrieden vom Preisleistungsverhältnis....der Klang ist meiner Meinung nach sehr gut und die Qualität hervorragend, zudem gab es gleich noch obendrauf ein Klinkengabel für den Verstärker...auch darüber ist der Sound wirklich toll. Normalerweise schrenken die niedrigen Preise meist ab, aber hier hat man einen Glücksgriff.
