Hello!

I recently tried out a mandolin in a music store that I really liked. I don't remember much about the looks except it being an F-style that was sunburst in some color, had white stripes along the edges (those things are called binding, right?) and fancy fret inlays. I checked the music store's website and came across a mandolin that looked like that and was in the same price range, so I guess it's correct.

The mandolin I tried had a nice chop, very smooth action, nice intonation and great sound. It was a bit quiet though. I guess the shop set it up.


How good are the Greg Bennett MF2s for it's price range ($500 in Sweden, but everything here is a little more expensive than in the US)?

Currently playing a Stagg M40s that costs around $130-150 in Sweden.

I have no experience with GB Samick mandos, but I own one of these: http://www.betterguitar.com/equipment/guitars/samick/lasalle_jz4.html ...which are excellent for the money.

I own a Greg Bennet - Samick e mando. Samick makes and sells under about 10 or 12 different brands. I also own a F style Beanblossom which says by Morgan Monroe but that too was built by Sammick. I have played both good and bad Samicks so I,d sure try before buy. Good Luck. PS mine were built in Korea and are good ones Played some that were built in China that were a pos.
