Lafferty LF-5D

[Bud Barnwell]

Well it's official. I'm the proud owner of the Lafferty LF-5D. What a great sounding and pretty mandolin. I literally can't put it down. It has the bigger frets so it frets real true. It even makes somebody as novice as I am to sound better. Dennis at the Mandolin Store fixed me up with a great deal. To top that off, I needed an acoustic/electric so I went ahead and got the asian model. What a great bang for the buck. I could have been delivered from mas and that would be bad for Dennis. LOL Really guys got to think about giving these a test drive.

Very nice, congrats. Those are custom made by Eastman for the MS.

I believe he is saying that he bought two Lafferty's. The deluxe (US built), And the import model. I have heard good things about the import, but I also know who built the deluxe, and it is an awesome mando!

Congrats Bud. I also own two Lafferty's (An LF-5 and an LA-5). I think Dennis hit a grand slam with the whole Lafferty line. You can spend a lot more, and get a lot less.

I have a Lafferty as well - a mahogany body octave. Really nice tone, although I wish it had an adjustable truss rod, as I'd like to drop the action a tiny bit more but there is just the slightest bow in the neck.
