Re: What to look for in a new mando.
I bought a factory second the loar lm 600... the nut had to be replaced so I got a bone nut instead of plastic.. I refinished mine and added a cumberland bridge and love it. I played it during a live radio show we did a couple weeks back and everyone at the station thought it sounded wonderful.
you might have like the feel better because of the bigger neck and jumbo frets. I prefer the feel to my godin a8 for that reason. I understand the love of the F style. I started with an epiphone A style and it was plinky sounding to me. I went through a couple cheaper"upgrades" that turned out to be mistakes. not many mandolins around my area to try out.
Kala tenor ukulele, Mandobird, Godin A8, Dobro Mandolin, Gold Tone mandola, Gold Tone OM, S'oarsey mandocello, Gold Tone Irish tenor banjo, Gold Tone M bass, Taylor 214 CE Koa, La Patrie Concert CW, Fender Strat powered by Roland, Yamaha TRBX174 bass, Epiphone ES-339 with GK1
