The Loar

collapse expand iconDescription

The LM-590-MS is designed for players who want the rich sound of a solid hand-carved instrument in a resonant thin satin finish with ultra-clean aesthetics. Its top is hand-carved from solid spruce, and the back and sides are hand-carved from solid maple. The flat fretboard extension provides maximum picking clearance so players can feel comfortable going all the way up the LM-590-MS' classic V-neck.

Despite its stripped down vibe, the LM-590-BR keeps the essentials of a great-sounding mandolin, and the solid hand-carved woods really open up under the thin satin finish.

    I normally play a 1948 Martin A, but I dislike taking it out of the house. So I bought the Loar 590 for my travel Mando. Very clean sounding and terrific action. The tone is a bit brighter then I like, but some lighter strings should warm it up. The satin finish is beautiful and immaculate. This would make a phenomenal 1st Mando for someone just starting out. For the money you can't go wrong with this mandolin.

    This is a gorgeous instrument. Rich resonant sound and excellent craftsmanship. It has that authentic country/bluegrass mandolin "chop" sound when strumming chords and crystal clarity when playing melodic lines and scale runs. Visually, the pictures don't do it justice because in person it's looks are killer! I was looking for a grass roots country vibe no frills good playing/sounding mandolin and this one is certainly a winner! YES, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a great instrument without breaking the piggy bank too much!
