I was offered a Fender mandolin with a $895 price tag, for $350. From a store owner. He closed the store about 3 years ago. He's still pulling stock from a warehouse and sells to people he knows. My husband knows him. We were in his closed store for another reason. Anyway, I forgot (!) to check the model of the Fender.
From the price tag, it appears to be an intermediate model. Any thoughts?
Just not sure if mandolins become dull like fiddles that just hang around. I don't think it was exposed to extreme temperatures or the sun.
Well I guess I'll answer my own question. From what I've read, Fender mandolins are not known for their quality. Just for their name. There was an occasional person (comments I read elsewhere) and they liked their Fender. But others' comments were quite negative. There are plenty of other brands that offer better quality for the same money.
