Re: J. Bovier F5 or Loar 600/700 with CA bridge
I would suggest a Bovier , and get it from Jeff he asked many questions about what I liked and wanted. When it arrived it was setup great just what I wanted, the sound was great. I happen to get a great deal on a loar 600 around the same time it came with a Cumberland bridge, it sounds good but not as good as my Bovier. I have taken my Bovier to many stores to compare and sofar it has won in comparison to all the others , I haven't compared it to any high dollar mandolin , there aren't many around me but I have to Eastman's , Kentucky and others of that level. I think both your choice's would be great, I have never played a 700 , they aren't any near me , I do want to,
