Hey guys. Have been a guitarist for about 20 years, but recently picked up a mate's mandolin and absolutely loved the thing. Now obviously I want to buy myself one, but know bugger all about what make to get. Was just wondering what people's opinions were on a decent first instrument. I have a fairly limited budget at the minute due to other costly projects so any advice would be most welcome. Also, I was debating the whole  mandolin/mandola thing and havent decided yet which would suit better, so any advice on a 1st mandola would be welcome too.
Cheers.
