Re: Ortega RMFE100AVO yes or no
All solid woods, built in pickup (I presume piezo), F-model mandolin. Doesn't say "carved" in the specs, so don't know if it's carved or pressed. Here's a Reverb listing for $900.
The obvious brands to compare are Kentucky, Eastman, and Loar -- all Asian-made (as I assume the Ortega is as well), and available at various dealers in Europe and the UK. Here's a 2018 thread on European dealers that may provide some information.
