The El Rey's Humbucker shines!
I've had an Eastman El Rey ER-M for less than a week. Lovin' it! I got the ER-M to record directly into a DAW.
It looks great, plays great, and the sound is superb. I'm playing it through a couple different amp/effect modelers on my Mac and iPad. I tend toward a clean sound with some delay and reverb. The Humbucker can really sound awesome adding a bit of boost. A lot of sustain potential.
Does it have a true Mandolin sound? I don't think so. Close. The range is there. Using it to take advantage of the Humbucker with effects is where it shines, IMO.
Peace.
