About mandolin Ortega RMA50VY

[morix]

Can you tell me if the mandolin Ortega RMA50VY has a truss rod?
By the photos broadcast on the net, it is not possible to make sure.

The Ortega website claims that this model has a two way truss rod, but there is no truss rod cover on the headstock in any of the photos, and no visible evidence of a truss rod pocket of any type. So if it has one, I can’t for the life of me figure out how it would be adjusted. That is an F hole model, so adjusting a truss rod through the sound hole would not be possible, like it would be through an oval hole. So in spite of what the specs say, I would only believe that it had a truss rod if someone physically showed me how it adjusts.

Though the description says it does, the photos do not show a truss rod hole cover. I don't think it has one, or at least it does not have an adjustable one.

For about the same price you could get a Kentucky KM-150 which would be a far better mandolin

Indeed, in the photos there is no indication that a truss rod exists on this Ortega model.
In order to be informed with certainty, it would be appropriate for someone who owns it or who has had the opportunity to try it to tell us how to respond.
