Any thoughts on these? I am sure it is crappy, but if it's playable it might be something fun to pick up when i am not playing guitar. i'll probably spend more on margaritas tonight
some of the reviews are scary tho

It obviously an inexpensive instrument, but probably worth the price if you just want to learn a little mando. I had a very cheap mando a long time ago, and it was playable and actually fum to play and good enough to start learning on.

However, I would not expect to see you doing mando duets with Grisman on this thing.

HAHA I bought one of these the other day. I stays in tune and plays just fine. It also came with a nice book and gigbag. I have it around to strum I dont know how to play it but I like to figure out new chords and keep chops up. It was a great buy for me!

Nice, that's what I was hoping to hear!

i checked out grisman's a while back and i don't think those will ever be in my price range
