Performer F-Style Mandolin
The Performer Series F-Style Mandolin, the LM-520, is The Loar's response to players' requests for a great-sounding, high-value mandolin with a minimalist design. Carefully assembled in the same hand-carved workshop that produced the LM-400 and LM-700, the LM-520 boasts a similar hand-carved, fully graduated spruce top. The solid maple back is also hand-carved, and the solid maple sides complete the all-solid construction.
The maple neck features a comfortable rounded "V" profile, finished with a rosewood fretboard. The compensated adjustable ebony bridge and high-quality vintage-style Grover tuning machines ensure excellent intonation and tuning stability, even under rigorous playing. For a more streamlined look, the LM-520 is adorned with a single layer of ivoroid binding.
These minimally appointed instruments are perfect for players who desire a high-quality, great-sounding hand-carved mandolin without the additional features. The LM-520 delivers the exceptional tone, chop, and projection that mandolin players have come to expect from The Loar.
Inspired by the pioneering designs of the Golden Age, The Loar combines expert craftsmanship and classic designs with upgraded features to appeal to today's players. From premium hand-carved tonewoods to original inlay detailing, each instrument is crafted for the best sound, playability, and timeless beauty. The Loar pays homage to the outstanding craftsmanship and innovative design of instruments from the 1920s and 1930s, reviving this tradition to bring you some of the best-sounding and most beautifully crafted instruments available today.
