Re: Relative newbie asking: To setup or not to setup?
Get it set up. It's worth the $40-80 it may cost. You won't get a better other mandolin for that money. You might as well have them throw on new D'Addario J-74 strings when they do the work. It will play better, sound better and be a more enjoyable experience. If you then practice more and enjoy it, save your nickles to buy something better. But, keep this one to use as a beater in dicey situations (camping) or to pass along to a new player.

There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want; and, after that, to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second. Logan Pearsall Smith, 1865 - 1946
