Hi everyone, I'm considering a 2002 MT2, blonde birdseye maple from Gryphon in Palo Alto (I live in San Diego and will not be able to play the mandolin prior to purchase). http://www.gryphonstrings.com/instpix/38038/38038.php Is the MT2 from 10 years ago the same radius, and neck profile as they are now? I have played new Collings mandolins and know what they feel like, but is there a possibility that the necks were fatter (or skinnier) back then? The tailpiece is original Collings I am told but not the newest, cast design, so that is one change. The asking price is almost $2900 which sounds a bit high? It has a Fishman bridge pickup and, as mentioned, beautiful birdseye maple. Any comments are appreciated! Thanks! Jill
