Hand-carved and graduated from solid select tonewoods and featuring a lightweight nitrocellulose finish for incredible projection, The Loars outstanding new all-solid mandolin is an accurate replica of the original 1920s F5-style model.

The Loar Hand-Carved Mandolin (LM-600-VS) is an instrument you have to hear to believe. The hand-buffed tobacco sunburst finish with nitrocellulose lacquer provides a vintage sheen and an authentic pre-war-style bark that will impress even the most avid vintage purist.

This professional model also features a solid hand-carved spruce top, solid hand-carved highly-flamed maple back and sides, a one-piece maple neck with rounded V profile, bound ebony fretboard and an abalone and mother-of-pearl custom flower pot headstock inlay.
