![]() Don't forget the Kentucky KM 1000 while you are embarking on your search. If you definitely want new and an F style mando, I don't think you'll be disappointed. A used Gibson A9 is an obvious choice in the same ballpark as a new Washburn M6SW. You will always get the argument that a good A style mando will be more bang for the buck than an F style at or near the same price. The M6SW played well, looked good and sounded good to my ear. ![]() If I remember correctly, it had a flat fingerboard and thinner frets, and I have always felt more comfortable with a radiused fretboard and thicker frets (probably from coming from a guitar background). I sold the Washburn and a couple of guitars to get the CFO to approve the purchase of the MT! I started to get scroll envy, but ended up with a second MT instead. I liked that mandolin pretty well, and probably would still have it if I hadn't stumbled across Collings mandolins. I've had a Washburn M1S (my starter mandolin) and then an M6SW "Jethro Burns".
