Would like to thank everyone for the advise last week regarding the purchase of my first mandolin. I contacted Robert Fear at Folk Musician and purchased a Loar LM500VS from him and received it today.
I am Very Happy with it. Not a high end I guess but for the price to me it looks like a really nice instrument. I would say the finish and workmanship are very good, scroll is clean as is the binding all around and a nice flame on the back. Set up with my limited knowledge seems to be real good and I am anxious to get started on my lessons.
Robert is very responsive and ships FAST! Very satisfied with this as my first experience with mandolins.....
Now if I can do it justice and learn to play, man this neck is tiny!!
