Hi all! I'm soon embarking on my first mandolin build, in part thanks to other Cafe members who have supplied some of my materials.
Experienced builders: I'm wondering what your average total materials cost is per mandolin (excluding tools, because I have most of the basics).
For reference, if I input the things I already have + the parts I need to finish, I'm looking at somewhere between $350 and $400. I'm primarily using suppliers like LMII and StewMac for accessories.
Does this sound about right for a single instrument? I know there are discounts for buying in bulk, but I'm not ready spend a few thousand just to save a couple hundred
