I'm a newb and have been looking into learning the mandolin and have been trying to figure out the beginner mandolin to get. I'm looking up to about $200. The almost unanimous consensus seems to be the Kentucky KM-150. Except they are no longer about $150. They are up over $400. So that rules that out. I found a never used Washburn M1SD like this plus a Road Runner soft gig bag for $150. I'm also thinking about an Ibanez M510. The Washburn would seem like a no brainer except from what I've been reading the Ibanez has better sound than the Washburn?
What route does everyone think the best way to go would be?
Thanks
