I just got my wife a used Kentucky KM250 (it's in the mail). From what I've read here and everywhere else it seems like a solid beginner instrument that she wont outgrow too fast. I play guitar so I understand the importance of a good setup but I don't know if I would know a good setup on a mandolin.
I called a shop in Seattle, which is an hour drive but has a stellar rep, they want me to bring it in first to look at than schedule a setup for sometime in August. Is a mandolin so different from a guitar that a tech would need to give it a once over before deciding how to set it up?
I setup my own guitars and basses but would it be adviseable to get a pro on the mandolin and what should I expect to pay? $70 seems about yhe going rate for guitar techs.
