I have a 1984 Collectors Series Shallow Bowl that I bought brand new in either late 1984 or early 1985. I still play it today.

Congrats on your new mandolin. I bought a LM-600 with Cumberland Accoustic Bridge as my first Mandolin almost 2 years ago and have never regretted it.

The Steeldrivers are one of my favorites.

Personally I bought a bunch of Dunlop Gator Grips in 2.0 mm and love them. I am 48 and with the two dozen I bought I will probably never need anymore.

I bought a LM600 with the upgraded Cumberland Accoustic Bridge from Folkmusician a little over a year ago and can't say enough good things about dealing with them. I had only played cheap mandos...

Cleartune for me.

I tried a couple different ones (never tried a BC) and settled on the Dunlop Gator Grip in 1.5 mm. I bought 24 of these at a ridiculous low price and love them.

I don't have a comparison to make. I ordered a LM600 with the cumberland accoustic bridge from Mr. Fear a while back and I love it. I feel blessed that I was able to make this one my first...

I purchased a mandolin from Mr. Fear a while back and can only say if possible you will do yourself a favor by dealing with him. He answered all my questions honestly and could have answered them...

Awesome, welcome.:r

The mandolin made it. It looks and sounds awesome. Now I gotta go and learn to play better.LOL

I have tried to patiently wait, haven't been succesful.LOL Anyhow it's supposed to be here tomorrow. Will take some pics and update.

No, it just shipped on Tuesday, so it's five day shipping. Sposed to be here on Tuesday. I will say again though that Mr. Fear doesn't sit on orders that's for sure. I ordered it late on Thursday...

Haha, it's a small world buddy.

You know what assuming does right?:whistling:

Mr. Fear doesn't lollygag around neither. I ordered this on Thursday night after hours. I forgot to mention in the notes on the order that this would be used for bluegrass as I don't know enough...

Thanks for the tip Rick, but I kinda had my heart set on an F style, and Iknow that there is more bang for the buck in the As. I just now placed my order for The Loar LM-600vs with the CA bridge...

Hey it's kinda good you said that cause it helped me to take a closer look at those two brands and then read more about The Loar too so it kinda fit my purpose for posting the question in the first...

Thanks for the welcome. The only problem is there doesn't seem to much of a market where I live for used mandolins. And there isn't a real store to buy or play many nearby either, it would be a...

Haha, you kinda got me. I am usually pretty good with the forum thing as I belong to one called cigarasylum.com for a while. And I see how easy it is for someone new to sometimes not express...

I said in a nice way!!!! I was kidding:)

I hope so. I got flamed in a nice way for liking something that was considered to be flashy and had just started my search and learn for what I wanted. I have been playing guitar for most of my...

I believe I have settled on the LM-600vs and I believe after reading some of the testimonials on here I will almost certainly buy from folkmusician.com thanks for all your input I appreciate it.
