I am new to the forums and am looking to purchase my first Mandolin. I play guitar, upright bass, and number of other string instruments, so I know I want a quality Mandolin even though its my first one. I purchased a Kentucky KM-252 from Guitar Center. It played ok, but I returned it anyway since it came with some scratches from the factory. I was going to put new strings on it to see if that helps with the tone. I was also thinking about trying out the Kentucky KM-250 and KM-256.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what would be a good Mandolin? My price range is around 400-500, but I can lean a little either way. It doesn't have to be a Kentucky, that was just a decent looking brand and Guitar Center had a deal (plus good return policy). I'd be fine with getting something different from another shop.
