    Default Waiting on my new mandolin

    Ordered a new The Loar LM520 from Folkmusicians.com using the link from this page. Now just waiting for it to arrive. As I am strapped for disposable cash didn't get the setup just hoping they pick a good one for me.

    Arrived on November 8, very impressed with it except the bridge looks like the leaning tower of Pisa with a crook in the middle. not even close to being level with the top. The thumb screws are bent, nasty looking. Even so it plays like a dream. I am replacing the bridge with a nonadjustable maple bridge soon. Been too busy playing to get the camera out but may get some photos soon.
