Hello Fellow Musicians,
I've finally got enough $$ together to purchase a Master Model Gibson Mandolin. I've played Gibson Mandolins for over 20 years. I currently have a F5-L. I'm confused over the issues of "brand new" vs "used." I'm impatient and don't want to wait for the instrument to "open up." Although I do realize that any mandolin will sound better the more it's played.
I've priced the Master Models anywhere from 8K to 15K.
Has anyone played a brand new Master Model? How does it act right out of the box? Let me know your thoughts...and thanks!
Steve
