Hey there... I've been lurking these forums, without registering, for quite some time now. It was time that I formally joined the forum.
About two months ago, I dove into the wonderful world of mandolin. I set out to buy a super-cheap Epiphone mando, but hated the sound so much. I knew no amount of setup could make it sound like I wanted. Next to it was another mando—matte finish, A-style (that I love) that was a hair more expensive than what I had budgeted... but I liked the sound. It was a Eastman MD-305. Minutes later, I was out the door with a lighter wallet. ;)
Since then, it has been fully setup by a luthier.

I will post "regular" shots later.
