that link doesn't work

Well, I'm not attracted to them, two of those are fs two are as. They are just what I am looking at right now (the eastman 315 just because its at a shop two blocks away, and they don't have 505s)....

OK I returned my Lee handmade F5, got my $800 back. I tried to like it, but never did. I took it to a good shop and they were critical of it. Said this was probably this Lee guys first or second...

I did like the tone, it is woody and deep and resonates well. That's why I bought it, I love the tone. I just don't like the action, it doesn't hammer-on at all and I feel like the chuck sound you...

Well I bought the Lee F5 for $800, discounted from 1,000. Unfortunately I do not like it, I have a whole other thread about it. It is gorgeous though.

I have increased my budget. I do have a thing...

I live in Salt Lake City, who knows who the best luthier is here?

No I bought it in a shop. He put new strings on in front of me and obviously didn't do a good job. The nut is def to high and I told him that, he told me to play it for a week to be sure. But its def...

I think I have a pic of the bridge and a sound clip now

Its not uploading my mp4 file I am trying to use. I don't know how this forum works. If it won't take mp4s I'm not sure what it wants, I'm not going to make a youtube video for a stupid sound bite.

I don't know what this photo is really going to prove. The content of this question is written, its not in this photo.

Yes the bridge is leaning forward.

Hi all, so I just upgraded, got a handmade Lee, made by Russ Lee in idaho falls. This thing is gorgeous:...

nobody? that makes me worry

I wanted to post these other events people might be into:
http://www.wim2014.com/#!application/cgfo this is an awesome gathering of musicians in Europe for ten days, oh and they gather in the ruins...

I am in love with a Lee f5, handmade in 2006 in Idaho. Its gorgeous and I love the sound. But its $990 and I was wondering if anyone knows about this company? I cant find any info w google or forum...

Today I played a 1992 Flatiron Cadet for $550, a 1917 Martin A for $900, a 1938 Martin 2-15 for $1200 and another Flatiron for $900. So many options! Those older mandolins are amazing sounding, they...

If you go to the site it says tab and notation and guitar accompaniment music for $8 extra, and a great cd

I wish I could play more of these. I went to four shops yesterday and didn't even find an oval hole to play. I'd really like one. I did however fall head over heels for a Lee F5. Handmade in 2006 in...

Wow you all are amazing! thank you!

So flatirons are all of a sudden being highly recommended, is that because they don't sound as twangy and brite? I've never played one so I don't know. I do...

Dagger, my life is changed. I want to go to one of those Labyrinth music seminars. Unfortunately they don't have mandolins in traditional cretan or turkish music. Maybe I need to learn the bouzouki,...

yeah I know you can't just pay more and get more, thats why I'm asking folks on here. Wow, oval style, I hadn't even been looking at those. Thats a whole new rabbit hole to go down....

Gypsy jazz looks fun but not quite the sound I'm into. I like it and would like to learn it, seems like there is a whole scene around Django festivals and such, thats interesting. But I am more...

wow thanks everyone! I appreciate the input. I know $550 is still entry level but those are all deals on $700 mandos. I wanted to spend a bit more than a KM150 but everyone says they are so awesome....
