I've made a few upgrades to my MD515 recently that I'm really happy with. The biggest one has been switching out the Ping tuners for some Grover 309s. MAJOR difference. They're super smooth, hold tune very well, and didn't break the bank. A few months ago I installed a K&K pickup, which I've never had any problems with in a live setting. I also got some rubber grommets to help deaden the strings behind the bridge, and just bought a Lakota leather strap which I really dig!
I got this Mandolin from my Fiancé for Christmas last year, so I don't plan on getting a new one any time soon. Does anyone have any recommendations on what else to upgrade? My luthier says most other parts are pretty solid.
