I'm getting tired of my cheap Johnson A-style mandolin. And since I mostly play Bluegrass, I really want an F-style like all the cool kids have.
When I decided to buy an upright bass, I got some really good advice on a bass forum: Go to the Bass Violin shop in Greensboro, NC. (I live in NC.) The very knowledgeable folks there hooked me up with an affordable instrument that was professionally set-up.
So my question is, is there a shop within a couple hours drive of Raleigh, NC that really understands mandolins, can help me find one that suits me, and knows how to do a proper set-up?
Lacking all that, is there a luthier near me who knows mandolin set-ups? Just in case I find an instrument at a pawn shop or something.
