I have tried more a dozen mandolins (5 in my possessions for a few weeks to few months).It is solidly built and has really good sound, although the price is a bit higher than I expected (300$, expected around 200$) as I had another one, Ibanez with more features (trust rod + pickup + volume/tone knobs) for only 245$, brand new.
However, for acoustic only, Fender 53S is a very good one, the sound is sweet and loud. I bought it used (second hand) at 80$, spend about 10$ for new strings and a missing tuning button and I am ready to play. This is now my main mandolin for the last 6 months.
Recently, I bought a Mountain Tyler transducer for Amazon (24$ shipping included) and spent about 10 mins to install it. Now my Fender 53S is also electric, it sounds really loud when plugged in.
