Hello,
First post here! I've been lurking for a few months and have learned quite a bit. Initially, I was browsing other string forums looking for a good travel or parlor guitar solution to take on work trips and someone suggested (to another poster) to just get a mandolin and learn something new, which I thought was a pretty good idea. So I picked up a cheap Rogue at GC and started going through MandoLessons, as well as the chord charts here to get the basics down, but quickly realized that I wanted formal lessons and found a local teacher (who has been great for motivation!). Really loving learning something new and getting back to understanding standard notation and basic theory.
Over the weekend I found a Kentucky KM-505 in good condition for a great price and just spent the morning restringing and setting it up. Thanks for all of your knowledge - the vast threads on used equipment helped me inspect the 505 to the best of my ability and I felt I walked away with a great bargain and a straight and playable instrument.
