I agree with the others who have voted Collings. I have a MT2-O and it's fantastic. And far far far more than guitars, you really do get what you pay for in Mandolins. Pro-level instruments make everything so much easier when it comes to playability, tone, and learning. I would encourage anybody to jump right in with two feet and learn with a Collings, Northfield, or comparable level mandolins. You can't go wrong with a Collings MT. There are a lot of used ones floating around as well. Good luck.
