Okay, it's not a high-end mandolin at all, it's even one of those "Pac-Rim" jobbies. But my varnished Kentucky KM-1000 is soooo beautiful I don't want to play it. I take it out, strum a few licks, admire the sound and the instrument itself and then put away in favor of my humble LM-400.
Is this just me? The thought of strapping this beauty around the scroll gives me a headache... What would happen if it was a Stanley or a Red Diamond or -- heaven forbid -- a Nugget???
(NOTE: just three names of super quality mandolins off the top of my head although I really do want a Stanley mando at some point)
