Just purchased a GM 50 last week, and I am absolutely blown away by the sound. Bright and balanced tone, better than average volume for atn "A" model ... sounds like a vintage mandolin. Ideal for Celtic and Irish.
I don't know if I'm just the lucky guy with an exceptional GM50, or if they are all like this. But in any event, thanks for making these available at such affordable prices.
By the way, I've almost worn out the original strings in the last week, and would like your suggestions on string gauge and alloy for the GM50. If you recommend certain brands or sets, let me know. (Couldn't find anything on the website ... if I missed it let me know)
"This is my third Gold Tone product, having previously purchased a resonator 5 string and an open back frailer. Your attention to details of construction, finish and setup is extraordinary. Achieving that at such reasonable price points is sheer genius."
Thanks
