    Re: LM 500vs "vs" RM 75

    Thanks Tim

    I really like the LM 600 vs but the price on the Rover is so much better.
    I wonder if the LM 600 is sound good enough to justify the extra money?

    Re: The Loar LM 600 VS

    Rod,
    I hear the neck is thicker on the LM 600 VS. How thick is it?

    The reason I ask is I have small hands.
