Hey all,
I'm wanting to buy another mandolin, an oval hole this time, and am trying to decide between going with a Kentucky or Eastman. The necks of each join the body at different frets; the Eastman has a shorter neck and the Kentucky has a longer one. Which do you all prefer? Is there an appreciable difference in sound, or is it just a comfort thing of being able to play up the neck? Are there any sound samples I can reference to compare?
I already have an Eastman 605, so I'm leaning towards the Kentucky to try and mix things up a bit, but I'm curious to learn other's opinions before pulling the trigger.
