I just got this Big Muddy Mandolin Co. model MWO in Primitive finish with the wide neck option. Spruce over native Walnut, Mahogany neck with Hickory fretboard.
Quite a value, sounds great, and easier to play than my Eastman.

With the wide neck option ($25) and the "Primitive " discount ($150 for this model, 200 for higher models) my total was $530.
This is what he says about the Primitive option:
"As all of us have fallen into the money downsizing, I am introducing a much less expensive version of all of our mandolin and mandolas. I'm calling these the 'PRIMITIVE' mandolin. Whatever our price is on our standard models, these will be $200 less*. What's the difference? No brace carving. No binding. Hickory fretboard (much less expensive wood but still plenty hard) and no attention to sanding scratches or finish work. All of that is the time consuming processes so eliminating them reduces the cost considerably.
So if you have been wanting a Big Muddy but are short on cash, this is a great way to save and still own a solid, great sounding mandolin from us.
*The MW-0 will be $150 less than normal. The MM-8 (mini-mo) will be $100 less."
Mine is finished nicely, a slight mark here or there that would be ok on a fully finished instrument.

Big Muddys are great little mandos. Mine was spruce and rosewood — all solid wood, of course. Beginner prices, but not just a beginner instrument.
Congrats!
