Hi George,

I have had 2 of the LM-520 and LM-320 mandolins, since before Christmas but didn't have time to do anything with them. I setup the first LM-320 earlier today and I am very impressed. The 520 does not seem that far off from the LM-600. Both of these new models are hand caved from The Loar shop. I only looked over the 520s gave them a couple of strums and put them back in the box, but I have a feeling these will be "THE" F-model at this price point.
