The guitar itself is great, plays well and has a lovely neck (nice and slim for a nylon strung guitar). If I were to start again I would choose the natural finish.
This mandolin exceeded my expectations. I have had mandolins before but the note separation , clarity and volume with this one is far superior. A decent mandolin can be expensive but this Eastman offers excellent value. A quality instrument at a reasonable cost.
