Re: new questions
1) The peninsula is not always scalloped and fretted. Some people actually use those frets for old classical music. Scalloping removes pick click noise from the plectrum hitting the fingerboard in the sweet spot.
2) Nut width is most often 1 1/4- 1 1/8" Scale is most often 13 3/4ish
3) I don't think you can get a production model USA made F style mandolin for $2500. Used - maybe. From some small shop builders maybe.
