I'd like to upgrade from my starter, a Mitchell (Guitar Center) Style A I've had only one chance to play a few Eastman models (MD305, MD315) under $1000. They sounded dry, no projection, no tone. I think my Mitchell sounds better, but the workmanship isn't good. (Bad tuners, sharp frets) Am I nuts thinking the Eastmans (tried 4 different ones) sounded awful? I always hear they're the best in the under $1000 range by leaps and bounds. Workmanship was nice but sound was blah. No other shops near me with mandolin experience. Anything else decent under $1000 with maybe a better tone?
