## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the “red” and the “red burst”?**
A: Red is pure red color and the red burst is a pattern of irregular concentric bands of colour with the brightest at the centre.

**Q: Are red and black are same?  you have answered they are same but i see difference in bridge wood and overall dimension  pls clarify?**
A: Yes, the red one is the original version, and the black one has some modification on size figuration and bridge. And these modifications will apply on the red one from next batches. It is recommended that in performance consideration, you could choose the black model and it has new model discount, while in color preference consideration, you could choose the red one, if you'd like a passion color.

**Q: Is this an "a" body or an "f" body mandolin? what is a good, sturdy, recommended hard shell case for it?**
A: Thanks for your inquiry. As the title mentioned, this mandolin is an A style body mandolin, that has a plain, pear-shaped body and no points. .  If you play blues or rock, something warmer and softer tends to work better for the harmonies you prefer, A-style mandolin provides this result. As for the case recommendation, Vangoa bundle always include a durable soft bag, and there're a lot good case on Amazon. As long as the case size is matched, it will provide a well protection, it's recommended that the case interior size should be larger than 28 x 14 x 2 inch without going too far.

**Q: Can you adjust the eight of the strings? I like them to be as low as possible.**
A: Thanks for asking, The top of Vangoa mandolin bridge sits on 2 wheels which move up or down when turned. This raises and lowers the action. To measure the action, check the height of the strings of the fret at the 12th fret with the string at the first fret. You can use a feeler gauge or a little ruler to measure the string height.
Fifty Thousandths (0.05) of an inch on the bass strings and forty thousandths (0.04) on the treble strings will allow a clean tone with comfortable playability. If the action feels stiff, you can lower the bridge. If there is string buzz, raise it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good as it is, Great with some tinkering
*by G***E on January 24, 2025*

I typically buy nicer, more expensive instruments, but wanted a cheap little mandolin to drag around with me and to mess around with. First impessions: decent for just over 100 bucks. Finish is nice, fretboard is well done as well. The action was WAY too high. I mean, I could put a finger between the strings and the fret board down on the neck. Unplayable, actually. The sound was ok, but this mandolin needed some tinkering. First, ditch the strings in comes with immediately. What I did: I replaced the cheap stamped tailpiece with a nice solid tailpiece. $20-ish on Amazon. installation was easy to do and you end up with a much sturdier attachment for the strings. Next, I didn't like the angle of the bridge. It was too perpendicular to the sound board. I sanded a touch more angle on the bridge so it leaned back just a bit. I lowered the bridge as far down as it would go also. I put it all back together with new strings and adjusted for intonation. What I ended up with is a beautiful sounding instrument! The action is much much better, but still a tad higher than I like. I may need to sand the bridge down even more to get the action lower. There's no truss rod in the neck so the adjustment options are limited. I fear that going lower will cause buzzing near the nut, so if I did that I may need to shim the nut (which is glued to the neck, unfortunately). It's very playable, and sounds really nice, surprisingly nice. For about $25 these little upgrades made a world of difference. I'm happy with the purchase and see no reason why this can't be an instrument with some longevity. I'm having alot of fun with it!
