I am ready to move up a notch from my $300 mandolin. I would love to have a Gibson F5 but can't afford one with one in college and two more to raise. There are too many "next mandollins" to choose from and I do not know any of the brands. I want the F style with solid spruce and carved maple back and probably around the $1,000 range. Any help with name brands and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
