Just bought a morgan monroe mms 8 w/c and I’m hoping it was a worthy upgrade. I’ve been pickin on a “the loar” 220 for a while and just wanted an F style that played decent.any positive word or advice would be much appreciated! Thanks

Morgan monroe mms-8 w/c
Congrats, definitely an upgrade. Make sure you get it set up, if you haven’t yet, that will make a big difference.
Well recieved the morgan monroe and as i expected, it had a couple high frets and the nut was way high. After adjusting the neck, leveling and dressing the frets, and filing the nut down to a reasonable height…i was surprised! The sound is much better than the “the loar” 220…finish is nice and the cast tailpiece is sweet! So easy to string! Thats a plus since i will have to put on new strings after i finish tweaking everything…don’t let anyone tell ya that morgan monroe doesn’t make a decent mandolin. The mms-8 is my new favorite since everything needs a good setup nowadays anyway…
