Hey all,
I am currently playing a Fender FM-61SE Electric mandolin on loan from a local music store. This music store is a small hole in the wall, which has a reputation for fair prices. Indeed, I bought my daughter's clarinet and my wife's violin there.
He is asking 350 Euro for this mandolin, used. This is around $370 - $400. I have been looking online, trying to compare prices against any other used or even new mandolins from this model. Problem is, I can't find this specific model listed.
I am assuming that this is a good price. The mando plays real nice and so far, after a 5 hour stint of "I just can't put it down" playing, I have sore fingers but no bad feelings about the instrument.
Does any of you have any experience with this specific model, or can anyone tell me if this is a decent price, great price or even "Don't let this baby out of your hands!!!" price.
I am supposed to give the mando back to the store on Monday... http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif
