Hi Guy's,
This is my first post, so i apologise if it's already been covered, i did try searching for the answer through old posts, but didn't find it.
I'm looking to buy my first Mandolin.
I'm a guitar player who's looking to play the odd song or two in his set on Mandolin.
I have roughly $600 to spend.
I have been looking at the Eastman 505, Eastman 515 and the Loar LM520.
I will down the line, look at putting a pick up in, but think it makes sense to spend what little money i have on the best Mandolin i can buy for the money, so, i guess that's the question, which of these 3 ( or any other you can suggest ) is the best one to buy ?
I realise it's subjective. I imagine i would like as wide a nut as possible, for my horrible stubby fingers, and i would be looking to play stuff like, or by, REM, The Faces and i love Irish tunes too.
Once again, sorry if this subject has been covered, but any help would be appreciated.
Thank you :-D
