Ovation MCS148 Mandolin/Mandocello

The Truly Modern Mandolin.
The Ovation Mandolin. The first designed from scratch as an acoustic/electric. Plugged in, the special design pickup and OP-24+ electronics truly make this mandolin sing.

Unplugged, the Ovation Mandolin and Mandocello are rich, throaty and have plenty of punch.

THIS MANDOLIN HAS A GREAT SOUND.IT IS CLEAR AND CRISP-REALLY SOUNDS GREAT THROUGH AN AMPLIFIER.IT HAS AN ONBOARD EQ.WHICH IS NICE.I WAS,HOWEVER, DISAPPOINTED TO FIND A SPLIT IN THE BEAUTIFUL WOOD OVERLAY NEAR THE BASE OF THE NECK-RATHER FRAGILE.OVERALL THOUGH IT IS AN ENJOYABLE IINSTRUMENT TO PLAY AND TO LOOK AT.
