Re: Post MAS syndrome
Yeah I hear ya, not ready to drop a lot on a mando either, so been avoiding Sylvan and Gryphon for a while now. My enlightenment level on the other hand is getting there. My understanding of what I like and don't like in mandos seems to be reaching critical mass, to where I could actually make a decent decision for a big purchase. For me this is the limiting factor, I'm not ready to drop a lot until I know how to choose well.
Sylvan has weber, ellis, pava, gibson, collings, gresch, girouard, and some others, which is a pretty wide selection. I've been itching (MAS by another name) to try a Pava or two for a while now.
Gryphon seems to be mostly collings, northfield, and gibson. decisions decisions...
