Introducing the Performer Series F-Style Mandolin - LM-520. This mandolin is hand-carved in response to players' requests for a high-quality instrument that doesn't compromise on sound. Crafted in the same workshop as the acclaimed LM-400 and LM-700 models, the LM-520 features a hand-carved, fully graduated spruce top and solid maple back and sides. The maple neck has a comfortable rounded "V" profile and is complemented by a rosewood fretboard. The mandolin also boasts a compensated adjustable ebony bridge and vintage-style Grover tuning machines, ensuring excellent intonation and tuning stability.
For those who prefer a more understated look, the LM-520 is minimally adorned with a single layer of ivoroid binding. This makes it perfect for players who value high-quality craftsmanship and exceptional sound without unnecessary embellishments. The Loar, known for taking inspiration from the Golden Age of instrument design, combines classic aesthetics with modern features to cater to today's musicians. Each instrument is crafted with precision, using premium hand-carved tonewoods and intricate inlay detailing to deliver superior sound, playability, and timeless elegance.
By reviving the tradition of the 1920s and 30s, The Loar brings you some of the finest instruments available today. The solid hand-carved spruce top, solid hand-carved maple back, and sides, make the LM-520 a standout choice for mandolin players seeking top-notch tone, chop, and projection. Experience the craftsmanship and innovation of The Loar, and discover a mandolin that embodies the best of both worlds - timeless beauty and exceptional performance.
