Re: Mandolin for beginner
Rule of thumb. Mandolins cost twice as much as guitars. A $200 mandolin is the quality point of a $100 guitar.
Mandolins get their horsepower from the arching of the top. Some of the cheap mandolins have a pressed top - i.e., not carved at all! To get a solid wood, arched and carved top mandolin is a different price point then you'll see in a $200 mandolin. Consider Kentucky or Eastman and look for the actual words, carved top and solid wood.
Welcome!
