I'm new to mandolin -- just rented a Kentucky KM-505 a month ago and have been playing like crazy. From reading these forums, I am developing a lust for a Colings MT. But, you know, it's only been a month and I could keep renting for a while to really see if my interest merits a Collings.
But now along comes the possibility of buying a very lightly, or maybe even not really at all, used Kentucky KM-805 F style mandolin from a local seller. I really like the 505 I've been playing, and have thought about just buying that. But the 805 retails for closer to $1000, and here I could get it for the same as the 505.
I haven't turned up a whole lot about the 805 from my forum searches, so any advice or thoughts would be appreciated!
