Hey there,
I've begun my search for a new (or vintage) mandolin. I'm in the market for an a-style, looking to spend about $500-$1000. I dont NEED to buy new, in fact i'd rather by used/vintage for my budget. In particular, I like the sound of very woody a-styles, as opposed to bright sounding a-styles. I hear only good things about Big Muddys, but have never played one. Every so often I see a 1920s Gibson A-jr that is just under $1000, although i've never actually played a junior. How do they sound? Deep/woody or bright? Also, is there anything else you may recommend to me?
cheers!
