It has a wonderful clear sound. Very bright on the High side but not to low on the low end.
Sound Rating: 10
It did not come set up. I adjusted the inotation and action to my liking.
Setup Rating: 5
This model was developed with the minimalist in mind. The only inlay is the Loar name on the head stock and dots on the fret board. The satin finish stays with the subtle apperance. The subdued finish helps grain of the wood to stand out.
Appearance Rating: 10

The LM-590 has a great sound and I am very pleased with the purchase. If you are looking for a nice mandolin with not alot of flash I would recommend this one for sure.
