    Surely not the best ever, but I have owned a couple of other inexpensive mandolins at this point. This mandolin was definitely the best that I have owned in terms of being able to get a good sound and staying in tune at a reasonable price. Fretboard is decent as well.

    I bought a Fender Paramount PM-180E acoustic/electric mandolin from Guitar Center recently. Is there a manual?
