LM-600-VS : Terrific mandolin for the money
3 years ago
Very impressed with this mando for the money - beautiful sound, lovely to play and so pretty.
I've compared it to some pretty high end gibsons as well as a top washburn and a michael kelly and it's well up there. Wasn't happy with the bridge so replaced it with a cumberland accoustic ebony version and added their "Tone guard" body cage, both of which noticeably increased volume and tone. Also added an internal K and K pickup.
A decent preamp, a modest string set up and you've got an instrument that you could happily gig with on any level.
