Got my first mandolin two weeks ago. An a-style Kentucky KM252. I thought that getting a decent all solid mandolin for my first one would keep me satisfied for at least six months. Of course ever since I got it I thought someday down the road I'd like a comparable F-style to go along with it.

Then last Thursday a Loar LM590 (satin finish like all my guitars) popped up in the Mandolin cafe classifieds for a very decent price including hard case and shipping so I jumped on it. I know these aren't high end mando's but they are respectable I think.

So far I've enjoyed what little time I've had to plunk around on the Kentucky. Looking forward to this new journey.
