Hi all,
Looking to get an 8 string solid electric mando, and would like opinions on neck shape, playability, fret size and such. No local selection, so would have to order. (Not semi solid as I want it very quiet for practicing after the wife goes to bed!)
I have a Epi mandobird IV, and the neck is fine but frets are a bit rough, and a Godin 8, but the shallow neck and tiny frets make it uncomfortable to play for long.
I want an emando that feels like a nice acoustic to the left hand.
While a $400 mando would fit my finances, I would pay more for an instrument that is comfortable to play and set up well, though prices seem to go from $400 to $2000 with not much in between. I could get an Eastwood for $339 on Reverb now, but not confident on quality or playability.
Not much available used either, as a used Mann might fit the bill.
What's the neck like on Manndolins?
Other mandolin recommendations?
Suggestions welcome!
Thanks in advance.
