2020s Unmarked F-2-Style Archtop Mandolin

Overview: This appears to be an almost-new, Chinese, mid-grade, F-2-style mandolin. It's unmarked but appears roughly-comparable to some Epiphone and Kentucky models that ape the same style. The body looks like it's solid-wood and I'd gather that means the top is carved -- how carefully is the question-mark here, but it does have a good, woody, sound and it's loud and has good cut. It also handles nicely, too, after some setup work.

Repairs included: I just gave it a quick setup and adjustments. It's playing spot-on and ready to go and appears to be wearing a set of Dogal strings.
