View larger Professional Series A-Style Mandolin The Loar's hand-carved LM-300 A-model mandolin was developed using tried-and-true design techniques. With hand-shaped x-bracing and stripped down appointments, the LM-300 gives players the sound they've come to expect from The Loar at an unprecedented value. The Loar Hand-Carved Workshop The Loar LM-300 mandolin is hand-carved and hand-assembled in The Loar Hand Carved Design Workshop with a solid spruce top and solid maple back and sides. The maple neck has a comfortable rounded "V" profile to fit the hand perfectly. Historic Design and Construction The LM-300 is assembled with a rounded "V" profile maple neck and bound rosewood fretboard. The bone nut and compensated adjustable ebony bridge allow for the singing sustain that professional players look for in a high-quality hand-assembled mandolin. Vintage-style tuning machines, nickel hardware and an extremely thin gloss finish all combine to make this professional-quality instrument an amazing value and a first for the professional mandolin market.
