Authentic mandolin "chop" is recognizable from the first strum, and can only be found in an instrument with a true, hand-carved Spruce top. Loar hand-carves their tops of the LM-310F to provide that real 1920s sound, but with enough vibration to still cut through in today's ensemble playing...

The thin “V” profile of the maple neck fits comfortably in the player's hand and our removal of the fretboard extension beyond the 20th fret allows for easy strumming without getting hung up on the extended upper frets. Combine the graceful curves of an authentic F-style body, Grover tuners, and a carved Spruce top & you've got an instrument that not only sounds great right at the start... but will be handed down to the next generation when the time comes.

For a limited time, with a full price purchase... we are including a great case (as pictured), a Loar pick, and your choice of one of the following: a strap, or extra set of strings (Note: strings, strap brand may vary due to availability). Please be sure to inform us of your choices at time of purchase.

Also note that this is a production instrument... And can vary ever so slightly color brightness from one to another.

We here at Tallman Instruments perform setup reviews on everything we sell… the clearances, intonation when applicable, and fretboard treatment are the norm. We'll even mark the perfect intonated bridge position, with easily removable tape in case it should move during shipment. We want you to be happy at the first impression... our goal is your being content with the instrument that you've selected.
