I play guitar and ukulele so someone loaned me this Mandolin yesterday and now rather obviously I need a Mando. This one was purchased in Tasmania.
I think this is a knockoff of a famous Japanese make as apparently they never made this style.
I’d like to make him an offer but I can’t tell if it’s a budget or more expensive item.
On the back of the headstock it looks as if someone scratched out a brand name.
