The Loar LM-110 Hand-Carved A-Style mandolin brings boutique-level quality and sound direct to your hands. Handcrafted by The Loar, this gorgeous mandolin is built with a solid spruce top and maple back and sides for articulate, balanced tone. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish and vintage-inspired hardware and appointments evoke the golden era of mandolin making.

Solid Spruce Top Delivers Rich, Resonant Sound

At the heart of the LM-110's stunning tone is its solid spruce top. Spruce is a lightweight, responsive wood that produces a broad tonal range, clear highs, and a ringing, resonant quality. The spruce top, combined with maple back and sides, creates an articulate voice with a woody midrange and sparkling treble.

A-Style Body Offers Comfort and Playability

The Loar LM-110 features a classic A-style body shape with elegant f-holes, providing lightweight comfort and easy playability. The A-style body produces a balanced, focused tone that cuts through in an ensemble while remaining pleasing to the ear on its own. The slim neck profile and radiused fretboard also enhance playability for mandolinists of all skill levels.

Vintage-Inspired Appointments Capture Golden Era Style

From its aged-looking satin finish to its vintage-style tuners and pickguard, the LM-110 is designed to evoke mandolins from the early 20th century. The satin finish gives the mandolin a warm appearance while allowing the tonewoods to resonate freely. The tuners, pickguard, and other hardware are also styled to capture a vintage aesthetic.

Additional high-quality features at an affordable price

Beyond its solid-wood construction and vintage style, the Loar LM-110 includes features usually found on higher-end models, like an adjustable truss rod, radiused fretboard, compensated bridge for accurate intonation, and dual-action truss rod.
