Sound
|
It doesn't quite have the traditional mando sound, since it's built more like a guitar (flat top, not carved, etc). More sustain than a traditional mandolin. |

Setup
|
Very easy to play--Tacomas have a bolt-on neck system that makes adjustments easy. |

Appearance
|
Yeah, looks great. Beautiful curly maple back, sides, and neck. And it smells great! |

Reliability
|
The finish on it started to separate from the body in a few places. I don't know if this is Tacoma's fault, or if it has something to do with how I stored it. Everything else on it seems great, though. |
