Re: Picking up a Big Muddy M4 soon - what to look for?
Sorry to hear about your GC experience. I was fortunate enough to acquire a Mid Mo about 5 years ago through the classifieds in almost new condition. The only blem was a little glue line at the neck join that is barely visible. Otherwise it was like new. And I have had no issues with stabilty. They are very different sounding than a carved mandolin. Very well suited for Celtic and old time music. In fact I prefer to play that style on the Mid Mo than on my other instruments. Mine is model M2 maple body spruce top. Great build quality and sound.
Keep your eyes on the classifieds although lately there hasn't been anything listed. And they tend to get purchased almost immediately. Good luck!
