Query: Excellent for a beginner.

I got this mandolin last week and love it. It's got an absolutely gorgeous finish, stays in tune, and sounds beautiful. This mandolin is a pretty good deal at $50 and I'm so glad I got it. When I received it, one of the screws on the pick guard came off but I removed the guard anyways and kept it just in case I decide that I want it on in the future. Having known next to nothing about mandolins prior to purchasing this, I had it tuned and was learning basic chords in about 5-10 minutes after unboxing it, which I was very pleased with. This mandolin is great for people who want to learn but don't feel like investing a ton of money or are on the fence about it. I'm very happy with my purchase.
