Re: fretting a mandolin vs guitar
See if you can get Rob Meldrum's set-up book. It'll probably open your eyes to exactly how important correct mandolin set-up is. fwiw, I have double string marks on my fingers every time I play mandolin for any appreciable time. I never gave it much thought, considering some of the gouges my husband has on his fingertips after he plays guitar for an hour or three.
