Re: £60 budget starter Mandolin in the UK
No one here will tell you to spend less money ... but you know yourself best - will waiting on an arguably better quality mandolin put getting into the mandolin on hold? sometimes it's better to strike while the interest is there. Certainly if you're willing to do the setup, the rogue is perfectly acceptable for a beginner. heavens, a lot of us have them and are happy with them for what they are. Especially for people just getting into mandolin, the difference in sound between most inexpensive mandolins is pretty much a moot point. the real difference at that level is physical playability.
