2020s Carvalho CARV308MOC Acoustic/Electric Octave Mandolin

Overview: I took this nice, newish, Portuguese-made octave mandolin in trade recently. After a little bit of work, it's now a good player with a midsy, woody sound and great looks. It has a pickup and preamp installed with controls at the side and a battery box near the jack. 

Repairs included: Max gave it a level/dress of the frets and set it up. It's playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: It's more-or-less a new-ish instrument. It needed a little level/dressing work to get the frets in order around the neck joint but it was otherwise in good shape when it arrived. It has very little evidence of use.

It comes with: Sorry, no case. If I have a spare gigbag of some sort that fits it, I will include one.
