Hi,
I have been a lurker for several years and have decided to bite the bullet and purchase a Mando.
I've been a guitar player for around 50 years, took up Dobro several years ago, and am interested in learning Mandolin as well . The music that I prefer to play would be considered Americana style, and would like to find something that would be used in that genre. My goal would be to be able to use it for ornamentation and fills with vocals and not as a lead instrument in a bluegrass setting.
I've come to appreciate the differences in instrument materials and construction and know what makes a guitar sound good (and what doesn't). Fortunately it isn't always price that differentiates a good guitar from a great guitar!
Any suggestions as to where I might want to start my Mando journey? I'd prefer to stay under $2,000.00-$1,500.00 and want something that is articulate, full and expressive.
Thank you,
Keith
