As I said in my intro post, I have been without a mandolin for a few years and looking to pick one up. [The classifieds here are wonderful!]
I've been looking at the Washburn M117SWK Double Cutaway Mandolin, though, which I like because of its two point design and wider fingerboard, which is listed as 1.22" (I think that is probably 1& 7/32") at the nut. Its list price of $749 is probably about the maximum I am looking to spend. I found one review on Amazon.com, which was pretty positive, but that's about it. I can see from the pictures on Sweetwater's site that the "distressed" finish is kind of sloppy looking around the binding in places, etc, but I don't really care too much about that as much as whether it is well put together and sounds good.
Anyone?
