The Ortega RMA5VS A-Style Mandolin is a first-class entry-level mandolin that not only offers excellent value for money, but comfortable playability and a pleasant sound image. The handy body made of laminated mahogany promises this strong sound with a wide midrange and rich overtone spectrum. For optimum playability, the glued mahogany neck of the Ortega RMA5 mandolin features a 2-way truss rod for precise adjustment of the neck curvature. Last but not least, tuning stable Ortega open gear tuners and a height-adjustable Ovangkol bridge complete the Ortega RMA5VS A-Style Mandolin.
Ortega RMA5 Mandoline Vintage SunburstThe finish on this madolin is awful. It feels like sandpaper to touch and the back is coming unglued from the sides. It is a left hand mandolin but has a right hand bridge fitted. The strings have to be very high to stop any buzzing. I will probably send it back, even a cheap Stagg mandolin can't be any worse than this.
