2022 McNeela Irish Bouzouki

This McNeela Irish bouzouki was just in the shop for a quick setup. It appears to be a rebranded, Saga-made instrument but at a much-reduced price. The neck is fast and quick, it's loud as heck, and it sounds good and bright and jangly-fun. I was impressed to be honest.

The owner had me set it up with very light strings and in octaves. The "factory" setup was terrible but it quickly improved after recutting the bridge base and adjusting the nut and truss.
