Mango is a very good choice of wood for Tenor and Baritone instruments, as the larger body size brings out the natural warmth in the wood. More akin to Mahogany than to Koa in its tonal response, it makes for a beautiful warm sound which can be deployed to great effect on strumming or picking styles.

The bone fixtures and fittings and the gloss finish help to put a little zing into the top end as well, and certainly help to elongate the sustain at the same time - you notice when playing this model that chords do take a while to die, even when played in positions up the neck, and you can achieve great results when playing vigorously or gently in all positions.
 
Photos show actual instrument, which is in fair 6.5/10 cosmetic condition with marks around the body consistent with careful use over a number of years. There are some small fingernail type marks and a small rough patch on the back of the neck, two larger marks and assorted smaller marks to the top, and one large dink to the binding (see pics). In other words, this is a used instrument, so do not expect perfection.
 
But - that Mango though! Have you ever seen anything else like it?
