That high and lonesome tone comes best from a select spruce top. Mahogany back and sides add warmth and projection, while gorgeous finishes, full body, fretboard, and f-hole binding, plus gleaming gold hardware impart visual appeal. Mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard. 14" scale.

Good Beginner Mandolin

Pretty good mandolin. I've owned it for about 6 months and the tone of the instrument has definitely gotten better with age. I'm mostly a bluegrass guitar player so the transition to mandolin was easy. I've played Gibsons and this matches up pretty good to the tone for the price. Great value for the price. You will not be dissappointed.

i got this mandolin because i needed something to mess around with, and this mandolin was worth the price! the only problem was it took a very long time to tune the strings, but it finally stayed in tune. i am very pleased with this instrument.

EPIPHONE > ROGUE

Just received my MM-30 a few days ago. This mandolin is WORTH THE PRICE! I compared it to the Rogue, and you can tell a difference in the sound. The Epiphone has a warmer sound, and looks nicer. Might as well spend the money on this, rather than the Rogue. Everything looks great, and sounds great!

I decided I wanted to play the mandolin a few months ago, but wasn't sure if I would like it so I wanted to buy a low price mandolin. Once it came I was amazed by how good it sounded and it quality. It doesn't sound as full as f-style but it was great for someone like me!

Good starter mando

I've been playing guitar for years and wanted to explore deeper into the realm of stringed instruments. This Epi MM30 is a great starter instrument. The factory strings suck though. I put on a new set of Martins and the sound quality is tremendously better. Sounds awesome with medium pick. Frets finger easily. Great instrument for the price! Gonna practice, practice, practice so I can work up to that $4000+ Gibson!
