Greetings All,
Long time pro (when I'm unemployed) and weekend warrior (when I'm gainfully employed)... guitar/bass player here.
I gig pretty regular,(electric guitar mostly) well....up until recently ;-)
Anyway, often thought about picking up a Mandolin just to learn/do something different that would also change my perspective and influence my guitar playing in the equation.
I'm thinkin' I shouldn't spend more than say, 800 or so on an intro model. Preferably a bit less...
Of course, like most everyone, I like the F's. But, I'm not totally stuck on that. And I understand you can get "more" for yer money in an A Style on the lower end of things.
I just moved up to the mtns of western NC semi-recently so, yeah, lotsa Bluegrass happens here. Would like to be jammin' on some of that once up to speed a bit. I should also mention (FWIW), that I've always preferred chunkier necks at least med-jumbo frets in guitars if this makes a diff or is a thing when selecting a Mandolin. Also largely a traditionalist in that world (Gibson, Fender, Gretsch in the stable now)
So....lookin' for what the brethren of experience here would recommend to a bloke like me. Thanks Much-O
