[zmcdaniel893]

Hey guys, I am fixing to purchase my first mandolin, a JBovier F5 vine, from a friend. One of the first things i want to do is to get it a good setup because my friend never actually got one. I was wondering if anybody new of anyone they could recommend for the job in Louisville, KY. Thanks for the help.

Hey!

Welcome.

I have talked a lot with the guys at Steilberg. They seem really knowledgeable, but I haven't seen their luthier work first hand.

The Mandolins they carry however, are all set up very well. I would personally trust them to set it up. They even carry J Bovier so they may have even been the original sellers!

They have been really nice in explaining answers to me of questions I've had in the past. They haven't been too uppity even if I was a newb...
