Well, I think I went a little above my budget and decided on a Northfield "Big Mon". Should be here next week :)

From all the searching I've done, I like the sound of that one the best.

I'm in Salem, but I do come up to the Portland area from time-to-time. That would certainly be awesome!

Interesting, now you've added even more possibilities to the pot. I'm going to have to check out the JBoviers on YouTube and see what I can find.




This is good to know. I've never bought on...

See, here's another one I never even knew about. Haven't heard of this brand before.

Why is it so cheap?

I'm not oppose to buying used at all. The only reason I like the idea of buying new is that if I don't like it, I can return it in most cases. The issue is that where I'm at here in Oregon, I can't...

I'm in the market for a mandolin, and I want something that will last me a long time and give me a good sound. My budget is right around $3000, which means I'll be getting something made in the...

What's the consensus on a 1996 Flatiron F5 Master signed by Bruce Weber?

Now I'm suddenly increasing my spending budget... even though I shouldn't. I keep telling myself... "Well, I could spend 4k...

Interesting, I heard the Eastman 815 has a radius fretboard. I don't know about the fret size, but if they are smaller, that would be a negative as I like larger frets.

I've been looking at some...

X2 to this. Anyone who insists American made is better is living in the twilight zone. Maybe 20 years ago that was true, but nowadays there's simply no truth to that.

Now that's not to say that...

I can tell you that at least as far as guitar is concerned, I find myself a fan of fat neck, wide nuts, radiused fret boards, and large frets. So perhaps those more modern features of the 1050 would...

Seems like the Kentucky KM-1050 is also another good option. Though aside from cosmetics, I can't tell what the differences are between it and the KM-1500.

Oh no, don't get me wrong... I don't think binding has anything to do with tone, I'm not that stupid.

I was just saying that I'm a sucker for that fully bound look.

So my issue with the Northfield is that the cheaper (if it can even be called that) F5 model doesn't have a bound neck or headstock. It looks a bit off to me that the body is bound, but the neck and...

Oh man... hadn’t seen those Northfields yet. That pick guard certainly compliments it nicely!

I’m a guitar player who has discovered a love for Mandolin. I’m looking to purchase my first Mandolin, but I’m not really wanting to shell out the money on a Collings or similar American made...
