Okay, so the Steffey has a radius and the Lawson doesn't. The Lawson has bound F holes. Are there any huge tonal differences? Is there much of a radius on the Adam Steffey F5? On the used market, what would each mandolin command if they were in similar condition?
I own a great Lawson (set up by Gibson Showcase) - had them add a slight radius and took the lacquer and stain off the back of the neck. Low action. It sounds great and plays like butter. I swore I'd never sell it.
But I originally wanted a Steffey and none were for sale. Now there is one so I'm second-guessing myself.
Would someone talk me into (or out of) the Steffey? (vs. the Doyle Lawson). Anyway, as I'm currently dazed and confused I'd appreciate feedback.
Thanks,
