Intonation problems
I love this little manditar. Pros: It’s fun to play and creates a nice acoustic texture when playing with other instruments. You get a bright mando sound with a larger neck, and without having to learn to play a new instrument. It looks beautiful. Cons: Since the pickup is passive you really need to run it through a DI that can control volume and tone. I use the LR Baggs para DI and it works great. The major drawback is that it has slight intonation problems. I’ve already had it set up once. My tuner tells me it’s in tune but as I play it, especially moving up the neck it’s sharp. It’s not too noticeable when played by itself, but against other instruments it’s just a little off. I’m going to try having it worked on again to see if it fixes the problem. Don’t know if it’s just mine or if it’s a problem with all of em.

Broken high-E string upon arrival was disappointing
Manditar looks nicely made, but broken high E string on arrival was disappointing. Please send a replacement set of correct strings

Good instrument
It plays well,and sounds good.It is,however, a small instrument so a guitar plays slightly easier.

The coolest instrument I've purchased in the last 10 years
I purchased this from my go to small business for most of my instrument purchases. This F-6 "mandotar" is a beautifullooking, and acoustically great sounding instrument. I have not tried recording direct yet, but the day WILL come.Gold Tone's customer service is top notch. I had a situation where the input/strap button became loose (with this type of input, it can be a little tricky to tighten), btw- it was caused from me not realizing the straps button hole was too tight on the button- playing the F-6 so much, taking it off and on, caused this. I emailed G.T. on a Sunday late afternoon. THEY REPLIED 90 MINUTES LATER. I called them the next day and they guided me to ensure a remedy.I'm starting to buy some different instruments to widen my horizon. I feel a Gold Tone banjo is next. The F6 is a pro level instrument. I have no doubt my next Golf Tone instrument will be at the same level.
