SOLD: Harley Benton HBMA-50E Mandolin Vintage Sunburst w/Bag £45PPG

Boromedic

SOLD

Harley Benton Electro-Acoustic Mandolin in Vintage Sunburst.

It's been restrung and setup, all plastics removed and played for approximately 3 or 4 hours before I picked up a more expensive Mandolin. That's not too say this is awful, it did the job I needed it for and it's pretty useful to learn on. Comes with a protective bag that's not exactly Mono quality but does a job! Currently needs a new E string but will square that away, I pinched it for my other Mandolin!

No major marks or damage, retails at £88 plus £10 shipping. 

How about £45PPG shipped? Can possibly meet up and drop off for less, or collection is also an option.

How playable/ setup actually is it?

Boromedic

It's reasonably playable to be honest, with the caveat that I set it up using online info, never had a mandolin before so that was fun!

Intonation is fine and the action, frets are small but they are on the more expensive one I now own as well so that's just a mandolin thing!
