So, over the summer I was privileged to go to a small bluegrass camp in Nashville, where I got to play a lot of awesome instruments.
Now, I've always thought F mandolins look the best, although I do really like the looks of an A, but until camp I had only about 5 minutes of time spent playing an F.
During one of the mandolin classes at camp, I got to play a TKD Eagle F5 that another student had brought, and I discovered that I don't like F5s or tone guards. The tone guard was extremely uncomfortable, painfully poking my ribs, and the points on the body poked into my legs. Standing up it wasn't so uncomfortable, but sitting down it was very unpleasant. Has anyone else had the same issues?
On the bright side, that discovery will save me a lot of money whenever I decide to upgrade from my KM150....
