Had a MD 515v that I loved the sound of, but had to part with it because the neck was a bad fit for me - specifically giving me discomfort just above the knuckle on my left index finger where it contacts the neck.
Been a guitar/banjo/ukulele player all my life and have a sizeable collection of instruments I play regularly. Never encountered this. I'm on my second oval hole Gibson, and both necks have been perfectly comfortable.
Wondering if I just got a bad example of a 515, or whether their necks are consistent and just not for me.
Being in a mail-order part of the world, I don't get to try a bunch of mandolins. I know I like the necks on the old Gibson (pre-trussrod) ovals, and I know I'd like a nice f-hole for the collection.
Thoughts?
