Thank you for the replies. I am going to get her a mandolin and we will see how it goes before converting.

My Eastman 505 experienced a noticeable improvement with the CA Bridge. I would say it is probably the best upgrade for a lower end solid wood mandolin. A $500-$700 mandolin wouldn't come stock with...

Got one ordered. Fitting it should be a learning experience for me. Looks like lots of good info out there so it shouldn't be rocket surgery. :)

Took delivery today. It is absolutely a fantastic mandolin. My level of ability will probably never match the caliber of this instrument. I am committed to wearing frets out trying:)
