I've been around the Mandolin Cafe for a while. Don't post much but read a lot.
(my dad always said that you learn more with your mouth closed...)
I think that people worry too much about tone guards and armrests, expensive strings and boutique picks, varnish vs. lacquer, import vs. domestic instrument...
Really it all comes down to this.
Yup. Put a rattlesnake rattle in my mandolin. Just like Mr. Monroe.
The mandolin is more powerful, lots of mojo, and I grew hair on my head.
YMMV.
