I got a Crafter plastic bowl-back mando about 8 years ago
and tried to persevere gigging with it for a few years.
I eventually gave up on it because the built in passive piezo pickup
was too spikey sounding, and too difficult for various live venue mixer techs to get a decent stage tone.
I wasted further good £££$ on a Boss acoustic pre-amp, but that didn't make much positive difference..

Last time I dug it out of storage and dusted it down for a play at home,
I noticed the bridge was starting to lift a little and come unglued.

Though, it did sound good enough ok plugged into studio FX
in a more controllable recording environment.
